> Which makes no sense, glass is infinitely recyclable, yet it is not, it is instead brought to the local dump.

It's reusable, sure. Glass milk bottles you return to be washed and refilled are great.

Glass recycling though makes little sense in many areas of the world. You are basically trucking sand around. Just far less efficiently. Glass takes about 40% less energy to melt than sand does, so you need to have a relatively efficient recycling supply chain to make up for that.

I haven't looked into it for over a decade, but the RoEI on that was exceedingly negative for my locality when I did.
