I need help recycling in Houston!?

Question

I want to recycle as much as I can, including glass bottles, of different colors. I'm in Clear Lake City, TX area, but they said they consider glass a hazardous waste. I call the city of houston, they give me waste management, but it's a never ending cycle, no one gives me a straight answer where I can recycle glass. Please help, I want to go green as much as possible. I've even switched to cloth diapers for my baby. :)

PS The websites give me disconnected numbers, store numbers, but no answers to glass.

Answer 1

Houston has Neighborhood Drop-Off Sites that will take glass containers (but not plate glass because of the materials added to the plate glass)

Neighborhood Drop-Off Sites

Another alternative for neighborhoods without curbside recycling are neighborhood drop-off sites.

Items accepted at the Neighborhood Drop-off Sites and Neighborhood Depositories:

    * Newspaper, magazines, office paper

    * Glass food & beverage bottles and jars (No ceramics or plate glass!)

    * Plastic bottles & jugs (marked #1 & #2 only!)

    * Aluminum and tin food cans

    * Cardboard boxes (Must be broken down with packing materials removed.)

You can learn more about their recycling programs at this website:
