Transparent glass is recyclable, though you’ll need to contact your local recycling center. Some centers have guidelines that require all hardware to be removed before accepting the doors. In some locations, you may also need to contact a glass-specific recycling company. Be careful if the recycling center has drop-off bins. Glass shower doors can be heavy. Take a second person with you to help you lift the doors into the bin without breaking the glass.

Pool filter disposal depends on the type of fool filter, and you’ll need to check the regulations in your area. A cartridge filter goes to a recycling center, pool supply store, or hazardous waste collection center. 

Sand and DE pool filter media can be used under or around pavers but shouldn’t be used in gardens. Sand you can’t reuse might need to go to a landfill, or a service can pick it up. Glass media can be cleaned and put back into the filter. However, a small amount of glass is lost during each cleaning, so you may periodically need to add glass media to maintain filtration.

How you get rid of old, expired paint or a mostly empty can of paint depends on the type and the rules where you live. If you have an empty, dried-out can of latex paint, you can often dispose of it with your household trash. 

For cans that still have some paint in them or for oil-based paint, your best bet is to contact a junk removal service or your municipality to see what its requirements are for paint disposal.
