South Texas Botanical Gardens and Nature Center invites the public to celebrate H-E-B’s Texas Recycles Day on Nov. 15, 16, and 17 with free admission to its facilities.
Every visitor who brings a plastic bottle or single-use plastic bag from any retailer receives free admission to the Botanical Gardens each designated day.
“Preserving the environment is a mission of both H-E-B and the Botanical Gardens. Visitors can help conserve and protect ‘Our Texas, Our Future’ as they enjoy the Botanical Gardens and Nature Center’s many floral exhibits and entertaining Butterfly House, Treehouse, Resident Reptiles, and tropical parrots,” emphasized Dr. Michael Womack, STBGNC Executive Director.
H-E-B’s Recycling Operation
When visitors arrive, they will place their plastic bottle or plastic bag in a special recycling bin after check-in. Visitors can also learn how H-E-B’s across their market areas process reusable items brought to their stores, placing them in salvage trucks, which go to the San Antonio H-E-B Returned Goods Center for sorting.
