I'm pretty sure iron/steel recycling makes sense too, since that can be easily separated from the waste stream magnetically.
Glass, I don't think makes sense, except for downcycling to aggregate.

Oh, sure, forgot that. Though steel and iron are not that common in household waste where I'm from.
I specifically point to glass reuse rather than glass recycling. As soon as you have to process glass, the energy costs are massive.
Also we've all heard stories of, let's call it aggressive proactive copper recycling.
