“Though the word beautification makes the concept sound merely cosmetic, it involves much more: clean water, clean air, clean roadsides, safe waste disposal and preservation of valued old landmarks as well as great parks and wilderness areas. To me … beautification means our total concern for the physical and human quality we pass on to our children and the future.”
- Lady Bird Johnson

Webinar: The Future of Glass Recycling in South Central Texas
07-15-2020 10:00 amThe State of Texas Alliance for Recycling (STAR) is partnering with the Alamo Area Council of Governments (AACOG), the Glass Recycling Coalition and Keep Texas Recycling to host a 2.5-hour webinar focused on advancing glass recycling in South Central Texas.
Join us on July 15th, 10 am–12:30 pm CST, for a discussion with national and local industry experts to explore the existing glass collection and recycling infrastructure of the South Central Texas region, as well as highlight some successful regional glass recycling programs from across the nation.
We’ll end with a discussion on how South Central Texas can accelerate glass recycling in a cost effective manner by adopting—and where needed, modifying—other regions' successful glass recycling efforts to fit this area's unique needs.
This webinar is intended for city and county staff, elected officials, solid waste industry professionals, and other stakeholders from across the South Central Texas region. However, this webinar will also be open to the public at large.
