Recycling Right!
Houston’s recycling rate is abysmal —— only about 18%, which is less than a statewide rate of 23%, and a national rate of 32%.

The contamination rate of Houston’s recyclables is also an unacceptably high 42%!!! FCC Environmental Services, the company that sorts all of Houston’s recyclables at a state of the art Materials Recovery Facility (MRF), in May 2026 met with the City of Houston to discuss Houston's misrepresentation of the recycling contamination rate when it was negotiating the contract for services. FCC lost $2.5 million last year as a result of the excessive contamination in Houstonians’ curbside bins. See the full article:

Houston’s recycling rate is abysmal —— only about 18% of its waste is recycled, according to city estimates, which is less than a statewide recycling rate of 23%, and a national rate of 32%, as reported in a June 2026 Houston Chronicle article.
