How Keep Texas Recycling Supports Rural Communities

“Recycling used to be a big city thing—but not anymore”

We’re excited to share a new video that highlights the impact of Keep Texas Recycling, a program of Keep Texas Beautiful that’s helping rural communities across the state build and grow their own recycling efforts.

Through the stories of Floresville and Burleson County, you’ll see how local leaders—with support from the Keep Texas Recycling program team and partners like H-E-B—are transforming access to recycling and making real progress toward reducing landfill waste, saving taxpayer dollars, and creating more sustainable communities.

Watch the video now to see how collaboration, community pride, and the right support can turn small-town passion into statewide progress.

Big impact starts small. And with programs like Keep Texas Recycling, every town in Texas has the tools to be part of the solution.
