Glass Half Full Our main drop-off hub is located at our 3935 Louisa St. facility. Drop-off is open Mon & Wed 9-5:30 and Sat 9-4.

We recycle glass “waste” into beach-like sand for coastal restoration and erosion protection, and furnace-ready, optically-sorted “cullet” for new glass bottles manufacturing. Glass Half Full recycles glass “waste” into sand and gravel for disaster relief and prevention, coastal restoration, eco-construction, new glass products, and so much more!

After six years, we will soon be saying goodbye to our Louisa Street recycling drop-off location. The final day to drop-off at Louisa Street is September 30th, 2026.

Our six years on Louisa Street have been an important chapter in the Glass Half Full story. When we first opened the location, Louisa Street was our only glass recycling drop-off. It was also where we processed the glass we collected, using our original small-scale equipment, sometimes just a few bottles at a time.

A lot has changed in six years.

Today, Glass Half Full operates a three-acre glass recycling and processing facility capable of processing hundreds of millions of bottles each year, along with more than 30 recycling drop-off locations across Louisiana.

As we close this chapter on Louisa Street, we’re more excited than ever about what’s ahead for Glass Half Full.
