I need to break some glass... need a place to do it
 

I have a weird request.

I have an assignment where I need to break some glass.
I'm trying to find a place where I can do that.
Preferably I would do it against a cement / block wall.
And I can't find a place.

Details:
* I and my colleague would wear protective gear and smash a few glasses (and some table wear) against a wall
* We would then cleanup after ourselves and make it like no-one was even there.
* Location: Zurich

It's a pretty simple ask -- however I can't find the spot to do it.

Anyone have an idea where I can do this.

My kitchen floor works fine for me. I drop wine glasses all the time. :o

As it seems you can't just use the glass containers at Maag recycling you would have to do that on private property. Your drive-way maybe? (Should give you an incentive to clean up well after).

Oookayyyy! Not weird at all...

Hardturmplatz?

It's quite empty on weekends and late in the afternoon.
Maybe clean up a bit afterwards

The issue is the sound, I assume. I would advise against doing this out of doors anywhere in Switzerland, except perhaps with permission at an eco-centre. Why not put the glass into an old pillow case and use a hammer? The sound should be muffled.

Just put them in a strong plastic bag or a sealed cardboard box and throw them on the floor. Or is the throwing against a wall outside part of the deal?

If in Zurich City, do you have the option to wait until Labor Day?;)

It's a science project.
I need to throw a few pieces of glass (dishes, glasses, vase) against a wall or ground and track the pieces.

A wall is best
The ground is 2nd best

I'll need throw about a dozen different size objects
And for good measure I might even use a hammer to see the trajectory of the pieces.

Can the person who set you this project not give you some advice on where to do it? Seems like a very odd request without giving guidance on where to do it without having the police show up half-way through?

If a rock is good enough to smash your stuff on, you might ask at a local gravel quarry (Kiesgrube), if you can use it on a weekend?

Why not go to your local abfallsammelstelle and ask them ?

Or... this cleaning up bit that you mention, would that also include the rest of my garage ? :rolleyes:
