This week, MSEP installed 12 storm drain filters across three municipalities: Long Beach, D’Iberville, and Ocean Springs. Thanks to patented technology by SOP Technologies, and funding through NRDA and MDEQ, litter and debris will be collected from storm drains throughout seven yearly deployments where it will be quantified and analyzed. We aim to learn more about watershed characteristics contributing to storm drain debris and explore ways we can come together as a community to keep our coast beautiful and trash free.

Join Kick Glass Hburg on October 8 at The Mary C. O'Keefe Cultural Arts Center! Bring your glass to be crushed and recycled, then stick around for a talk about the many ways crushed glass can be reused in projects around your home. Give your glass a second life and learn how to put it to good use!

♻️Let’s Crush It!

Do you know that the bottles, jars and other glass we discard can be crushed and used in several helpful ways around a home or business? Crushing glass and using it reduces the stress on landfills because glass never deteriorates. Save the glass you usually toss and watch it be ground up and take it home in your container you to use. Shawn Harris will bring his glass crusher and lead the conversation at 6:30.

📅Thursday, October 8, 2026
📍Mary C. O'Keefe Cultural Arts Center.
4:00 PM for crushing, 6:00 for w**e and cheese and 6:30 for a talk on the many benefits of glass recycling and the many uses of crushed glass.

The Ocean Springs Environmental Alliance is excited to sponsor this event and hope that many families and businesses will bring glass, learn more and enjoy the event. For more information, call 228-327-0183.
