If anything they are easy to remove. Plug the sink, fill it all the way with water, pull the plug and turn on the disposal. The glass won't hurt The blades. May make a lot of noise though.

I have done a lot of work on disposals, commercial and residential, and I have seen worse go down. Bolts, nuts, bones, silverware, string, cups - both glass and plastic, etc. Worse that happens is the disposal gets stuck and you break it free with a special tool or my favorite the crow bar.

the cost of a plumber or the cost of a disposal? Disposals are getting cheap, plumber on the other hand...
