Any glass jar deposits near Chicago

I live near Chicago (west side) and I have too many jars. I don't need any more for plants or bulk buying. I have no use for them and have no idea where to bring them. If I need to recycle them I will but I'd prefer to take them somewhere they'll be repurposed.

Last I knew, SCARCE accepted these kind of items. I don't live in Illinois so I don't know how far it would be to get to them.

I see jars of all kinds at the thrift stores all the time. Maybe just donate them? Lots of younger gens getting into canning right now.
