Curbside glass recycling is a home pickup service that allows Taylorsville residents to recycle glass bottles and jars. Momentum Recycling provides a dedicated 35-gallon container just for glass. Our specialized collection trucks come to your home once a month to collect your glass recyclables.
Glass is collected in a separate container to prevent contamination. This way over 90% of collected glass is successfully recycled.
We provide once-a-month collection service with convenient reminders. You’ll get notifications via email or text, so you never miss your collection day.
No need to sort your glass by color. We accept all colors of glass bottles and jars in the same container.
The service is optional for Taylorsville residents. Just sign up and we’ll deliver your dedicated glass recycling container.
Place your 35-gallon glass recycling can at the curb on your collection day. We take care of the rest and make sure your glass is recycled properly.
Never miss a collection with our automated reminder system. Choose to receive notifications via email or text message.
If you rent an apartment in Taylorsville, our curbside glass recycling service is available for small multi-family properties that receive waste and recycling services from Wasatch Front Waste & Recycling District.
Please Note: your glass cart will be delivered ~7-10 days after you sign up.
Recycling glass through our program offers numerous advantages:
Glass can be recycled endlessly with no loss of quality. 80% of recovered glass containers are made into new glass bottles.
Taylorsville glass recycling creates 8-10 jobs vs 1 job if glass is landfilled. Boosts local economy.
Making products from recycled glass uses 40% less energy than making new glass from raw materials. Cullet melts at a lower temperature, and uses less energy.
Glass is 5% of the waste stream by weight. Recycling glass saves on waste collection and disposal costs.
For every 6 tons of recycled container glass used, 1 ton of CO2 is reduced. Recycling glass helps combat climate change.
What Types of Glass Are Accepted?
We accept empty glass bottles and jars of all colors, including:
What Not to Put in Your Glass Recycling Container?
The following items cannot be put in your glass recycling bin:
Still unsure if your glass is recyclable? – Contact us for help!
A: Follow the steps below for the best way to prepare glass for recycling:
Empty the container and remove lids and corks. Lids can be recycled in your regular recycling bin.
Although it may help reduce odors, washing your glass containers is not necessary. By not washing empty recyclable containers, you help conserve water—one of our most precious natural resources.
You don’t need to remove labels from glass containers. We handle that for you.
A: There are 3 main reasons why glass can not be put into the blue curbside can:
Salt Lake County’s Material Recycling Facility (MRF) can’t effectively separate and process glass at its facility. Glass shards are difficult to remove once mixed with other recyclables.
Glass breaks easily and becomes sharp, posing significant risks to workers who handle and sort recycling materials.
When glass is collected separately, more glass is captured and successfully recycled. Source-separated glass results in higher quality recycled materials.
A: Yes, broken glass is acceptable for recycling. In fact, breaking glass is part of our recycling process. Broken glass is processed into cullet that feels like sand.
Please handle broken glass carefully when putting it in your recycling bin to avoid injury.
Momentum Recycling uses a sophisticated process to turn your glass into valuable materials:
Glass is collected from curbside bins and drop-off locations across Utah. All colors of glass are collected together and inspected for contamination.
Wheel your container to the curb by 7:00 a.m. on your collection day. Place the can at least three feet away from vehicles or other objects to prevent property damage.
Do not overfill the can—the lid must close completely. Overfilled cans may spill in the roadway and create safety hazards.
If you have extra bottles that won’t fit in your container you may place them next to your container and we will collect it as well.
Q: When will my glass be collected?
A: Monthly on your designated day. You’ll receive reminders via your preferred method.
Q: What can I do if I miss my collection day?
A: Your glass will be collected on your next scheduled day. Use one of our drop-off locations if you need to recycle before your next pickup.
Q: Is there a limit on how much glass I can recycle?
A: The limit is your container size. The lid must close. If you consistently have more glass than fits in your container, contact us to discuss options.
Q: How do I cancel service?
A: Contact Momentum Recycling customer service and we can help you cancel your glass collection service.
