How To Locate Cheap Float Glass Below is an excerpt of an excellent post to the sandcarving forum, by Tom Eddleman, on locating float glass in your area:
“Everybody here has probably found good places to get glass
locally, but what works for some doesn't work for others. Some of the glass
houses will let you go through their glass dumpsters for scrap glass. Some of
them will site insurance concerns to keep you out. All that you can do is ask.
My local Ace Hardware for instance will give me glass and mirror just about
every time that I go in there because it was miscut or odd sized. On the other
hand the place where I buy most of my large pieces of glass won't let me near
their scrap.
I might add that if you attempt the “dumpster diving” part of Tom’s post, a welcome addition to such an expedition is a Gopher Tool. I have found that this gadget can save you from falling headfirst into the dumpster as you dive for that irresistible piece at the bottom and will also prevent those red splatters which tend to decorate the glass as you enthusiastically drag it out. I think you can also get them at Lowe’s and/or Home Depot.
