About Us
What We Do
EarthMagic Recycling takes food and beverage glass from the community and converts it into eco-friendly tumbled sand. This recycled sand is available in different sizes, colors and amounts. It is used for anything from mixed media crafts to construction projects. Our products are processed on-site in Virginia.
Our Mission and Vision
Our vision is to make a difference in the environment, one piece of glass at a time! Our mission is to share the importance of glass recycling by partnering with area businesses and groups to meet recycling goals and provide an impactful service that would otherwise not be available in this area.

At EarthMagic, we are passionate about protecting our environment and making a difference in our community, one piece of glass at a time.
How We Got Started
EarthMagic has been my dream for a long time. After watching a video about glass recycling, I started seriously considering the possibility of providing this service in my own community.
When the COVID pandemic arrived, everything was put on hold. But after losing my brother in March 2021, I re-evaluated my priorities and decided there was no better time to start building my recycling dream.
EarthMagic Recycling LLC was born in August 2021!
I am amazed and grateful for all the support I have received from folks across the area. We started collecting glass from residents in Buena Vista, Lexington and Rockbridge County and now we have added most of the surrounding area.
