Creating a simple curbside recycling service in Lubbock was the inspiration behind Good Earth Recycling.
We want to recycle as much as possible, with no sorting or transporting required!
Since starting up our service in 2016, we have kept over 3,000 tons of waste out of our landfill. In 2023, we opened our second recycling service in Abilene, TX.
Our current average of material kept out of the landfill is 45 tons per month as of 2024.
Our mission is to provide a simple and responsible way for people in Lubbock and Abilene to make an impact in our community and our world through curbside recycling.
Customer Service, Responsible Recycling and Education are our top priorities!
Start up fee? Cancellation fee? No way! Our Mission is to make recycling in Lubbock and Abilene easy for you!
If you ever miss a pickup day don't worry! We will always provide you with a complimentary re-schedule pickup upon request!
You'll receive complimentary bags every month for the life of your service! Each of your bag deliveries is hand wrapped with a personal touch.
Good Earth is West Texas’ only glass, styrofoam and upper level plastic recycler!
