Q: In the instance that you actually have a whole piece of glass but it exceeds the dimensions that your waste management company will handle, you'll need to break the piece into smaller, easily disposable pieces. Place the glass down flat on the ground and cover the entire pane with an old blanket or several old towels to keep the shards in place before using a hammer or shovel to break the pane. If you can also put a blanket that you don't mind throwing away beneath the glass, then you'll have a much easier time cleaning up with fewer tiny shards to worry about as well. Alternatively, and if it fits, put the glass into a garbage can and break it there. When breaking glass, always be sure to wear gloves and goggles or other eye protection. Whether you dropped a bottle or had to break your own large pane of glass, always put on work gloves and thick-soled shoes while handling broken glass. You should also keep kids and pets away from the area until you've finished the cleaning process. You should start by collecting the larger pieces of glass, and you should place them in a large trash bag. Thick outdoor trash bags are preferable because they are less likely to puncture and tear. In addition to using thick trash bags, you should actually place a second trash bag inside the first before you start putting the broken glass inside. It's much easier to double-bag the clean-up effort before you start rather than trying to fit a jagged trash bag inside a second one later. Once you have collected the larger pieces to the degree that you can, vacuum up the area with the hose attachment on a shop vacuum. Use the hose attachment to get the entire area up to approximately fifteen feet away since broken glass can fly quite far. Make sure you use the hose attachment on a shop vac. A conventional rolling vacuum will only crush the glass into even tinier shards and it lacks the suction power of the hose. Many people are tempted to use a broom to sweep up the glass instead of a vacuum, but glass shards can easily trap in the bristles of your broom only to be redistributed later. A vacuum is a safer method. Even a vacuum can miss some of the truly tiny pieces than can nonetheless cut or irritate skin. For an easy and economical way to capture those pieces of glass dust, you can get a piece of soft bread from the kitchen and blot it face down across the area to trap the remainder of the glass. Though bread is the item you most likely already have in your home, other household items can work well in this case too. A halved potato, packing or duct tape, or a lint roller also work well for this purpose. Make sure you do not accidentally touch the area of the item with the glass stuck to it. A damp paper towel can finish the job, so wipe the area down thoroughly. Also remember to wipe down the soles of your shoes to get any glass dust you may have picked up during the rest of the cleaning process. Some companies may also request that you dispose of broken glass in a solid container as well. If this is the case with your waste management company, then you should also place the glass-filled garbage bags in a cardboard box, seal it, and label it broken glass. At this point, you have properly contained and labeled the broken glass, and you can simply put it into your regular trashcan or community's dumpster.
A: Break the glass with caution. Take proper precautions. Place the bigger pieces in a large trash bag. Vacuum up smaller pieces. Blot the area with a soft piece of bread. Wipe down the area with a damp paper towel. Place the trash bag in a cardboard box. Put the container out with the normal trash.

Q: Prepare all of the necessary equipment before you begin. The keg coupler needs to be a gas-in ball lock type and the carbonation cap can be either plastic or stainless steel depending on what you prefer. Carbonation caps fit standard 1 or 2L (34 or 68floz) plastic bottles. You can purchase the supplies to make your own carbonation system from a brewing supply store or online. CO2 tanks can be filled at sporting or welding supply stores. Always use a plastic bottle when you are carbonating your own beverage rather than glass. This is because there is always the potential for the bottle to shatter if too much pressure is supplied and plastic is a much safer material in this scenario. Use your hands to screw the CO2 pressure regulator onto the CO2 tank valve. Once you have tightened it as much as you can, use a wrench to tighten it further. The pressure regulator controls the pressure of CO2 that is transferred from the tank and into the plastic bottle. This is how the CO2 gas will travel at a reduced pressure into the plastic bottle. Screw the keg coupler onto the CO2 pressure regulator valve, which is found just below the reading meter. Refer to the instruction manual that came with your CO2 tank and pressure regulator if you have any issues setting up the system. Turn the CO2 tank valve anticlockwise to open it. Use the dial on the CO2 regulator to change the pressure. 35-50 psi is a good place to start for any carbonated beverage, as it depends on what kind of beverage you are working with and how fizzy you want it to be. Make sure that the CO2 regulator valve remains closed while you are opening the CO2 tank valve and changing the pressure. Drinks that are made with mostly fruit are generally carbonated best at around 35 psi. Mixer drinks such as tonics require higher pressure, so try 40-45 psi for these. Use 50 psi for wine and cocktails, as alcoholic beverages require higher pressures to be carbonated properly. You can carbonate any volume of beverage using a carbonation system. Make sure that you leave some space at the top of the bottle, as the beverage will expand when you add the CO2. It's important that the beverage is cold as CO2 dissolves more easily in cold liquid. Store the beverage in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours prior to carbonating it. For example, if you wanted to use a 1L (34floz) plastic bottle, the maximum volume of the beverage that you carbonate will be 750ml (25floz). Gently squeeze the bottle to force the beverage to rise to the very top. Then screw the carbonation cap onto the opening of the bottle. The bottle will remain slightly scrunched once you attach the carbonation cap. Squeezing the bottle removes the excess air, which creates room for the CO2. When you carbonate the beverage, the bottle will instantly inflate again. The gas-in ball lock keg coupler attaches the gas line to the carbonation cap, which means that CO2 will be able to enter the bottle. Simply push the keg coupler onto the top of the carbonation cap to attach it. Twist the valve anticlockwise to open the gas line between the CO2 tank and the bottle. The bottle will instantly inflate to its regular size which indicates that the carbonation process is complete. Keep the bottle connected to the keg coupler using the carbonation cap. Vigorously shake the bottle so that the CO2 distributes evenly. Otherwise, all of the CO2 will remain at the top of the bottle. Don't turn the bottle upside down as you are shaking it. This is because it may cause the liquid to backflow up into the gas line and regulator. Each time you shake the bottle, you will hear the CO2 regulator release slightly more gas. This means that you have correctly carbonated the beverage. Turn the gas valve on the CO2 regulator to close the supply of gas. Pull the keg coupler off the carbonation cap. Unscrew the carbonation cap from the bottle. Pour the beverage into glasses to serve it straight away. If you want to keep it for later, place the carbonation cap back on to keep the CO2 inside the bottle and store the bottle in the refrigerator. You can carbonate a beverage again that has gone flat using the same process.
A:
Gather a CO2 tank, regulator, keg coupler, carbonation cap, and a plastic bottle. Connect the CO2 tank to the CO2 pressure regulator. Attach the gas-in ball lock keg coupler to the CO2 pressure regulator. Open the CO2 tank valve and adjust the pressure to 35-50 psi. Fill up a plastic bottle 3/4 of the way with the cold beverage. Squeeze the bottle and insert the carbonation cap. Attach the keg coupler to the carbonation cap. Turn the valve on the CO2 regulator to open it. Shake the bottle for 30 seconds. Shut the gas valve and remove the carbonation cap. Drink the carbonated beverage or use the carbonation cap to keep it fizzy.
