H-E-B Starts Statewide Earth Day Giveaway of 276,000 Reusable Bags

The free tote highlights H-E-B’s Our Texas, Our Future pledge to reuse high-risk plastic.

Overview

  • H-E-B and its banners began handing out the free totes at 8 a.m. Wednesday at H‑E‑B, Central Market, Joe V’s Smart Shop and Mi Tienda locations across Texas.
  • Giveaways are first come, first served while supplies last, and customers can buy extra bags for $1.50 each.
  • This year’s design features Garner State Park on the Frio River as the third and final release in H‑E‑B’s state‑park series.
  • The bag is made mostly from ocean‑bound plastic, meaning waste collected near waterways that is at high risk of reaching the ocean.
  • H‑E‑B ties the effort to its Our Texas, Our Future work, citing nearly $1 million in recycling grants since 2021 that improved local programs serving more than 720,000 residents.
