Originally started in a backyard, Glass Half Full is the nation’s first grassroots glass recycling facility and has expanded to a location in Joliet St and then relocated to a large processing facility in New Orleans East. The recycling facility has experienced a large amount of success and support, and they even received a Love Your City Award in our 2021 ceremony under the resource management category.
