Murray residents understand the importance of environmental stewardship, but limited municipal recycling programs leave glass bottles and jars with no option except the landfill. It’s frustrating when you’re committed to sustainable living but face barriers to recycling materials that could easily become new products.
At Momentum Recycling, we share this frustration—it’s the reason we launched our company in 2008 to create recycling solutions where none existed. We believe Murray families deserve convenient glass recycling that aligns with their environmental commitment. Our monthly curbside glass collection service eliminates the recycling gap, making it simple to turn environmental values into real action. With over 12,000 households already participating, we’re helping Murray residents create measurable environmental impact while supporting Utah’s only glass recycling facility and strengthening our local green economy.
Beginning glass recycling in Murray is simple and affordable with flexible payment options to fit your preferences. First, choose your service provider—either Wasatch Front Waste & Recycling District (quarterly billing) or Ace Recycling & Disposal (monthly credit card billing)—both at just $8.50 monthly. Next, we’ll deliver your collection bin within 7-10 days with clear placement instructions for your monthly pickup schedule. Finally, start collecting all your glass containers—no washing or label removal needed. Each provider has different activation fees and billing methods, but the same excellent service transforms your glass waste into valuable materials for Utah manufacturers.
Your glass recycling process starts when you place bottles and jars in your collection bin—no sorting by color required. Monthly, our dedicated trucks collect glass from Murray neighborhoods and deliver everything to our Salt Lake City facility, Utah’s exclusive glass recycling plant. Our sophisticated processing system crushes glass to precise specifications, removes all contaminants, and employs optical sorting technology for color separation. The finished glass cullet supplies local manufacturers producing fiberglass insulation, industrial abrasives, and construction materials. Every glass container you recycle stays within Utah, creating local jobs while permanently keeping recyclable materials out of overcrowded landfills.
Glass recycling dramatically decreases your household’s environmental footprint by diverting 100% recyclable materials from Utah’s strained landfill system. Every ton of recycled glass conserves over 1,300 pounds of sand, 410 pounds of soda ash, and 380 pounds of limestone while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Your monthly participation helps protect the beautiful landscapes surrounding Murray, preserving clean air quality and natural resources that make areas near the Wasatch Mountains and Jordan River so special for outdoor recreation and community enjoyment.
When Murray residents embrace glass recycling, they build stronger neighborhood bonds and promote sustainable practices throughout the community. Your commitment influences positive change that spreads through areas around Murray City Park and local gathering spaces, fostering collective environmental responsibility. Glass recycling creates community pride by demonstrating shared values about environmental care, connecting neighbors who prioritize preserving Murray’s quality of life and natural beauty for future generations while establishing lasting sustainable habits across the community.
Your glass recycling subscription directly strengthens Utah’s economy by generating employment requiring 8-10 workers compared to only one for landfilling operations. Every recycled container creates economic value through our Salt Lake City processing center, keeping revenue circulating within Utah’s manufacturing sector. Glass recycling reduces municipal waste disposal expenses, freeing tax resources for community improvements like enhanced facilities at Murray City Park and infrastructure maintenance throughout Murray’s neighborhoods, benefiting all residents through improved resource allocation and strategic community investment.
Murray residents have two convenient options for glass recycling service. Choose Wasatch Front Waste & Recycling District for quarterly billing at $8.50 monthly with a $55 activation fee, or select Ace Recycling & Disposal for monthly credit card billing at $8.50 monthly with a $25 activation fee. Both options provide identical excellent service—the difference is billing preference and activation cost. Your glass collection bin will arrive 7-10 days after signup, ready for monthly pickup service.
We collect glass from Murray neighborhoods once monthly on a reliable schedule that makes recycling completely effortless. After enrollment, you’ll receive your specific collection day and consistent monthly pattern. Our dependable service means you can count on us arriving as scheduled every month. You’ll get helpful reminder notifications before each collection day, ensuring you never miss opportunities to recycle glass while supporting Utah’s sustainable manufacturing economy.
On collection day, place your bin with clear street visibility, keeping it at least three feet from other containers, vehicles, or obstacles. Murray residents with driveways should position bins at either end of the driveway for easy access. Without driveways, place along the front curb area—not directly on the curb. Our drivers are familiar with Murray neighborhoods and will locate your bin efficiently. After collection, simply store your empty bin until next month’s scheduled pickup day.
Stop feeling frustrated every time glass bottles and jars go into your trash when you know Murray deserves better recycling options. You care about environmental responsibility and want convenient solutions that match your values. For just $8.50 monthly, you can finally turn environmental concern into meaningful action. Join your Murray neighbors in creating a more sustainable community starting today.

Q: Why don’t mixed recycling programs accept glass containers?
A: Mixed recycling facilities cannot efficiently separate glass from other materials. Glass fragments contaminate paper products, create safety hazards for workers, and reduce the market value of other recyclables. Dedicated glass collection ensures maximum recycling effectiveness.
