Marie Elaine, your question is a good one for the long run. One
approach on a small scale might be to separate glazes with toxic stuff (ie
barium, non-iron colorants, etc.) and let those dry and go to the dump
(toxic waste dump if possible). The rest, perhaps, could help out in the
garden; it's fine sand, iron, calcium, rock mostly. Then we would find out
if anything that fine would clog the soil. Hmmm. Live and learn.

Marie,
If you mix your own clay, you can add rejected glaze samples to the mix. I
buy pre-mixed clay, and all my rejects are still sitting in my basement in
a bucket. I sometimes use them to line bottles whose necks are too
thin to allow for observation of the glaze within (and too thin for use as
drink containers).
