Yes, glass must be separated else it breaks and contaminates everything. For glass to have value, it must be sorted by color (before transport so breakage is with like color).
Having worked on machines at landfills, I learned much recycling is a scam to make people feel good. Separated items in well-run scrap sites do get recycled, though that is the exception.
The landfill cells are not cheap to construct though it is straightforward.
In some States with tire reclamation fees to prevent disposal of whole tires, the fees pay for the dump to buy a shredder, stacker, and wheel loader to gradually sprinkle smaller tire pieces into the same place the whole tire would have gone.
After seeing many of these sites, I have concluded that burning most trash to make electricity would be appropriate.
