[USCC] Glasss removal

[Donald Lewis]

I fear that the notion that a simple water extraction of glass is fallacious. The problem is that regulators like me take a very dim view of adding water to a compost because the increase in weight results in additional cost to the end user. Effectively you would have found a way to sell cheap water at a premium price. Somewhat like selling bottled water!

It would be very easy to remove all glass and other inorganic material from
grass using a simple water bath. To get an idea of how this could be done,
please see:

Thanks.
