New Glass Recycling Options

The City of Houston recently announced two new glass recycling drop off locations, with more to follow. Through a new partnership with Strategic Materials Inc., North America’s largest glass recycler, the City is trying to provide citizens with more options to recycle glass. Strategic Materials is working with industry partners and local communities to cover the cost of glass recycling drop off boxes at a total of ten locations throughout Houston with the goal of continuing to expand the program.  Glass Recycling Bin

The first two locations have opened at:

Sharpstown Park - 6600 Harbor Town Drive, accessible during park hours

Salvation Army Family Store & Donation Center - 2208 Washington Ave, accessible 24 hours

These locations take glass beverage containers and jars. Color sorting is not necessary.

(please do not contaminate with non-recyclable glass, or non glass items)

These locations have glass bins ONLY; they do not take other recyclables such as paper, plastic, etc.
