About 7 years ago I took a class and the instructor was all about using recycled material. We broke bottles and just stuck the pieces (slowly and carefully) into the flame. Just make sure you use tweezers or hemostats to hold on to the glass. Dont just grab it and stick it into the flame.
We also used scrap stained glass. We ended up with some really neat beads. She also did something else with a flowerpot to melt the glass but I dont remember exactly what that was. We didnt do any of that in the class.

I know you do have to be careful to not mix up the glass.
