Glass bottles, glass baby jars, glass vases are all things found in homes that can be recycled. But, where does all that glass go? In one Lago Vista neighborhood, it went into the ground. Now, to most people the thought of glass in a driveway is not a good one, but to Jack Robertson it is perfectly acceptable.

Jack paved his first recycled glass driveway in Lago Vista.

“Never have I seen anything as pretty,” said Robertson. “Recycled glass process is filterpave. Permeable recycled glass.”

Not only is the glass recycled and put to a beautiful use, it’s also good for water conservation.

"The great thing about it is that it's permeable and lets the water go back into the ground," says Robertson.

A crushed stone layer under the glass helps filter the water back to the ground where it belongs. This prevents runoff and wastewater. Another bonus is the discarded glass will not be put to waste.

Robertson says, “It’s not going just to fill up a landfill, it’s going to be used.”

It’s a winner that is good for the ground water, good for landfills and regular concrete doesn’t stand a chance against the look.

"Oh, the aesthetics are just incredible. We've called this lakeshore green."

Green like Mother Nature intended this planet to be.

According to Jack, the cost of permeable paving is about 25 to 30 percent higher than normal concrete paving, but his company hopes to set up a recycling and processing place in the Hill Country to make the cost more competitive.
