How
It
Works
Think of how much glass your household uses daily. No matter if you enjoy Mimosas during breakfast, wine for lunch, or bottled beer while watching the Saints win, Delta Builds wants to ensure the glass you use gets a new life. We aim to collect all of those bottles and jars from your house, then take them to our storage and processing facility. Every empty jar of artisanal vinegar, kombucha, mayonnaise, beer or gin can have a new, practical purpose in a world of sustainable consumption. Unfortunately, we can't use windows, mirrors or car wind screens.

Recirculate
The grits and grades of glass gravel, sand or dust will be sold by the tons for road construction, beach volleyball courts, coastal restoration and other cool products like countertops, Mardi Gras beads and, you guessed it, more glass bottles.
