Order Glass Gravel from Big Blue, the City’s New Glass Recycling Machine! 


The City of Flagler Beach’s new glass recycling machine, “Big Blue,” is hard at work.  May 4th was the first citywide glass recycling pick-up, and it produced about six tons of glass. We are so proud of our community’s recycling efforts. The City is excited to sell 25 pound bags of the glass gravel that Big Blue creates for $35.00 plus tax. Flagler Beach residents may place their orders at glass@cityofflaglerbeach.com
