Your recycled glass becomes rain gardens, flood-relief sandbags, and hands-on science lessons.

Do you know where your recycled glass goes? 🌀

When you drop off glass at one of our free New Orleans locations, it gets ground into sand by our partners at Glass Half Full — and that sand gets put to work. We use it to fill eco-friendly burlap sandbags that are distributed to residents across the greater New Orleans area ahead of storm season.

It’s a full circle: your recycling becomes flood protection for your neighbors.

To date, we’ve distributed 545 sandbags and counting. Your Give NOLA Day donation helps us reach even more residents who need them.

We are so excited to be partnering with on something really special 🌿

We’re bringing STEM to second grade through a hands-on experiment growing, sunflowers in different textures of recycled glass sand to learn about seed growth, materials, and what we can do with the glass we throw away.

AND we’ve paired our experiment with a glass drive hosted by the lower grades.

Science, recycling, and sprouts all in one 🌱
