Did you notice whether your neighbor's recyclables were picked up?
Some possibilities:
If neighbor's recyclables were not picked up - it could be you both got the wrong week, or the recycling trucks weren't there yet.
Then you wonder why the glass is there and not the metal - well, it is a common problem that people steal the metals (especially aluminum) from municipal recycling collection bins to turn it in for $$.
The other question is.. is all the glass you are putting out only bottle glass? The city doesn't collect window or picture frame glass, etc.
Are the bottles stuck in the bottom of the container? (some stuff could be left behind if it's jammed in the container and doesn't fall out when they dump the container).
Are the bottles clean? (unlikely they would catch dirty ones in a bucket full of other recyclables.. but the stuff you put out should be clean.)
