Who is GTA Recycling?

Glass to Agg Recycling Company LLC (GTA Recycling) is a new Louisiana-based company that will convert your waste glass and industrial glass waste from the Gulf Coast into high-value, eco-friendly construction aggregate, coastal restorations materials, and disaster-relief materials. By processing glass locally in Lake Charles, GTA Recycling will reduce landfill waste, lower the carbon footprint of construction materials, create local jobs, and support resilient infrastructure in a hurricane-prone region.

Reducing landfill waste while converting Gulf Coast glass waste into valuable eco-friendly construction and disaster relief material.

Mission Statement

To become the leading local supplier of sustainable glass-based construction aggregates in Southwest Louisiana and the broader Gulf Coast, recognized for quality, environmental stewardship, and support of resilient communities.

Vision

Louisiana isn’t 1 of the 10 Bottle Bill states (which give refunds for returned containers), so we used the average price to calculate our refund per pound.

Residential: $0.06/lb


Business: $0.10/lb (1st ton), then $0.02/lb thereafter
