Why Woods Cross Families Choose Glass Recycling
Environmental Benefits
Glass recycling conserves over one ton of natural resources for every ton processed, including 1,300 pounds of sand and 410 pounds of soda ash. It reduces CO2 emissions by one ton for every six tons recycled and cuts manufacturing energy use by 40%. Your recycled glass stays local, avoiding transportation emissions while extending landfill life and protecting Utah’s natural landscapes.
Economic Benefits
Glass recycling creates 8-10 local jobs compared to just one for landfilling, boosting Woods Cross’s economy. Manufacturing products from recycled glass costs 40% less energy than using raw materials. By diverting glass from waste streams, residents help reduce municipal disposal costs while supporting Utah’s growing green economy and local manufacturing sectors.
Community Benefits
Woods Cross residents join a community-wide effort to protect the natural beauty that defines our area—from the Great Salt Lake ecosystem to Antelope Island’s wildlife habitats. Your recycling efforts help preserve these outdoor treasures for future generations while setting a positive example for neighbors. Together, we’re building a more sustainable Davis County community.

Make Woods Cross Glass Recycling Even Easier With These Tips
Can I Recycle Broken Glass?
Absolutely! Broken glass is completely acceptable in our Woods Cross collection program. Our facility actually breaks all glass into small particles during processing, so pre-broken containers pose no problems and get recycled just like intact bottles and jars.
What About Labels and Lids?
Remove metal and plastic lids before recycling—place them in your regular mixed recycling instead. Labels can stay on since our facility’s heated drying process loosens adhesives and removes paper labels automatically during processing.
Do I Need to Rinse Glass?
Rinsing isn’t necessary and actually wastes precious water resources. Our industrial cleaning process removes all food residue and contaminants, so simply empty containers and place them directly in your Woods Cross collection bin.
Quick Answers to Your Glass Recycling Questions
Q: Does Momentum offer glass recycling for my Woods Cross business?
A: Yes! Momentum Recycling offers commercial glass collection services for Woods Cross businesses. Contact us to discuss pickup frequency and pricing options that fit your business needs.
Q: What happens if I put glass in my regular recycling bin?

Q: Am I locked into a long-term commitment?
A: No contract required! Our Woods Cross service operates month-to-month, giving you the flexibility to cancel anytime without penalties or long-term commitments.
Q: What’s the easiest way to handle payments?
A: Payment is automatic through monthly credit card billing. You’ll provide card information during signup, and we handle the rest—no checks, cash, or manual payments needed.
Q: What if one bin isn’t enough for my household?
A: You can add a second bin for an additional $6.00/month and a one-time $25.00 activation fee. Perfect for larger households or those who generate more glass containers. Contact us to add a bin to your account.
