Glass Recycling

CCA collects glass for recycling by Glass Half Full.  The collections take place every 2nd and 4th Saturdays of the month, from 9-11 a.m., at Faith New Orleans, 7902 S. Claiborne Ave., (corner Fern St.) 


Glass Half Full NOLA has provided us with 18 bins and picks up the glass that we collect on Saturday.  They charge $145 for each pickup day. We are asking everyone who brings glass - each time - to donate $1 to help us cover this expense. From their website: "We collect and convert NOLA’s glass bottles — which have been cramming our landfills for decades — into useable products: sand and glass cullet. These precious materials are used for an array of things, from coastal restoration to flood prevention to eco-construction."
