Texans For Clean Water

Texas needs your help! As Texans, we should be appalled at the litter that floods our natural waterways. This is a Texas problem that needs a Texas solution.

[Texans For Clean Water @RecycleTexas]

America produces less than 10% of the virgin aluminum it consumes annually.

Yet we keep throwing aluminum cans into landfills, waterways, and storm drains instead of recovering them for American manufacturing.

Don’t Waste America.

[Texans For Clean Water @RecycleTexas]

This is not about asking Americans to consume less. It is about wasting less of what America already produces.

States with beverage container recovery systems are recovering higher-value materials, reducing litter, and strengthening domestic supply chains.

Don’t Waste America.

[Texans For Clean Water @RecycleTexas]

America is throwing away the very materials our economy depends on.

Texas wasted more than $372 million worth of recyclable containers every year.

We bury it, litter it, or lose it instead of putting it back into American manufacturing.

Don’t Waste America.

The great folks at @Surfrider did an excellent job last week of cleaning up Texas beaches. Thank you for your great work!

Texas literally buys trash from other states to recycle into new products. What about the trash we have right here? Robby Robinson, Field Operations Manager at @buffalobayou, & Mike Garver, Chairman of @RecycleTexas & a founding member of @buffalobayou, weigh in with @bradswail.

[Texans For Clean Water @RecycleTexas]

Clean water results aren’t theoretical—they’re measurable. Higher recovery rates, less waste in waterways, and stronger supply chains.

This Earth Day, we’re doubling down on what actually works— incentivizing behavior.

[Texans For Clean Water @RecycleTexas]

Two men. One boat. A whole lot of trash removed from Buffalo Bayou.

Meet the Bayou-Vac—and the people proving that keeping Texas waterways clean takes grit, innovation, and commitment.

The aluminum we discard could be a cornerstone of a cleaner, stronger, more resilient economy. It’s time to act—because clean water and clean metals go hand in hand.

[Texans For Clean Water @RecycleTexas]

Facing steep 50% tariffs on imported aluminum under the Trump administration, the solution may be closer than we think—right in our recycling bins.

[Texans For Clean Water @RecycleTexas]

Recycling is faster, cheaper, and cleaner. Recycling facilities cost about $150M and take 2 years to build—far less than a smelter.

[Texans For Clean Water @RecycleTexas]

The Texans for Clean Water team traveled to Washington, D.C., to meet with congressional leaders and build momentum behind a smarter, more strategic approach to recycling policy—one rooted in conservation, accountability, and domestic economic strength.

Cities like Killeen are paying for the cost of cleanup—literally. A smarter recycling system could cut litter, save taxpayer dollars, and let local crews focus on what matters most.

Shoutout to the Environmental Communications students at UT Austin! Their “Longhorns Don’t Litter” project is raising awareness of stormwater pollution and protecting Waller Creek—one storm drain at a time. https://t.co/G9ks9Pv3UC
