As far as I understand, if you return glass into a recycling centre or to waste management anywhere here it will always be for cullet glass.
Bottle washing here only happens if you return the bottles at a supermarket or other retailers, who then return it (unbroken) to the original manufacturer.
I haven't tried turning it in at a recycling center. That seems more likely to work. I was talking about roadside and public recycling bins, which don't seem to welcome glass anymore.
