How to Recycle Bricks in Texas

Contact the local recycling center in your neighborhood or community in Texas. Large cities might have multiple places to recycle, while small towns and rural areas may require that you drop off recycled materials at a designated area. Contact the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality to find the location and phone number of your local recycling center.

Use old bricks to make a pathway in your yard or garden in your Texas home. Used bricks have an antique look that is sought after by many homeowners, although their appearance may not work well with all types of homes.

Consult with a local contractor before building anything with recycled bricks. Ask friends and family to recommend a good builder in your Texas town. Ask him to inspect the bricks before you use them to make sure that they are structurally sound.

Go to your neighborhood salvage yard or hardware store and ask them if they crush bricks for use in paths or for other purposes. Crushing is one way of recycling bricks, which can be expensive, in Texas.

Find friends, family and acquaintances in your Texas area who may have a project that could include your used bricks.
