Answer
Broken glass utensils are a kind of non-degradable waste as they cannot be decomposed and broken down by living micro-organisms. These need to be disposed in deeply dug pits so as to cause no harm. One of the applications of broken glass is that it can be used in glass industries in larger quantities after melting.
