Know Before You Go

Single-Stream Recycling Comes to Horseshoe Bay!

Horseshoe Bay has a new single-stream system, meaning residents can now combine mixed paper items (newspaper, junk mail, cereal boxes, cardboard) and containers (aluminum and steel cans, glass jars and bottles, plastic bottles) into a single bin or bag without sorting them first. Please note, residents must still break down cardboard boxes prior to bringing them to the recycling center.

When residents arrive at the center, they will see a new set-up, with blue “hoppers” in the center drop-off circle. The eight hoppers (five or three yards in size) can all be used for single-stream recycling material. We hope residents find the hoppers convenient and easy to use!

Studies have shown that the main barrier to recycling is understanding the process. That means knowing where and what to recycle. We've made this process easier through simple graphics and QR codes that provide information on what items to recycle, how these items are collected, and why your contribution has an impact not only locally but globally.

We encourage you to spread the word! Encourage your neighbors to participate and recycle with you.
