Questo tipo di barattoli di vetro finiscono nel cestino della spazzatura che serve per il riciclaggio del vetro? Devo eliminare gli adesivi e lavarli prima di smaltirli?

You don’t need to remove the stickers.
If you should wash or not is a highly debated topic and you will find radical supporters of both camp.
I personally remove the leftover from the glasses, but don’t wash them.
>Does these kind of glass jars go into the trash bin which is for glass recycling?
Yes.
>Do i need to get rid of the stickers and wash them before disposing them?
The stickers can stay, but you should at least wash out the jars
The label doesn’t interfere with the recycling process. You can discard the lid separately if you want (recycle it as metal packaging, in whichever way is appropriate for your location; in my city, I throw it in the yellow bin), but the recycling process for glass has measures in place to fish out the metal lids and route them to appropriate recycling, so you can just as well leave it on.
The jars should be empty (no leftovers; the German technical term is “löffelrein”: as clean as you can get it with a spoon) but you needn’t wash them. Personally, I put them in the dishwasher. But only because I don’t want them to get gross or smelly when I collect them for a few weeks until I get round to taking them away, and because putting one extra jar in the dishwasher that I’m going to turn on anyway doesn’t cost an appreciable amount of water, detergent, energy, or money.
