How to Dispose of Glass Bottles in McAllen, TX
McAllen empty glass bottles and jars are a recycling-cart or glass-drop-off item in most U.S. programs — not plastic bags. Do not put bottles in a grocery film bin. Rinse; keep ceramics, mirrors, and window glass out. McAllen Public Works — Brush & Bulky is the official program we verified; if it only mentions bags, use the city’s recycling list for glass.
