Why Holladay Families Choose Glass Recycling
Practical Benefits for Your Household
Eliminate the hassle of storing glass containers or making trips to distant drop-off locations. Our monthly curbside collection means you simply place your glass bin at the curb alongside your regular trash and recycling. No need to rinse jars or remove labels—we handle all the cleaning and processing. Your glass is collected reliably every month, keeping your home organized while reducing household waste by up to 20%.
Environmental Impact You Can Measure
Every glass container you recycle saves energy and natural resources. Making new glass from recycled cullet uses 40% less energy than creating glass from raw materials. Your monthly collection helps divert hundreds of pounds of glass from Utah’s landfills annually. Since glass can be recycled endlessly without quality loss, your wine bottles and jam jars become new products indefinitely, creating a true circular economy.
Supporting Holladay’s Community Values
There’s a reason why residents love Holladay. From the beautiful tree-lined Wasatch Boulevard to the bustling Holladay Village Plaza, there’s a sense of pride that comes from living in a community that values both natural beauty and environmental responsibility. Glass recycling extends landfill life, keeping waste disposal costs manageable for the city while protecting the quality of life residents enjoy. By choosing our service, you’re joining neighbors in supporting a local family-owned business committed to helping Utah communities achieve zero waste goals together.

Make Glass Recycling Even Easier
Q: Why Can’t We Put Glass in Our Blue Curbside Can?
A: Glass requires special handling for several important reasons:
- The local Material Recycling Facility cannot effectively separate and process glass mixed with other recyclables.
- Glass breaks easily and creates sharp fragments that pose safety risks to handlers.
- When glass breaks in mixed recycling, tiny shards contaminate other recyclables and reduce their value.
- Source-separated glass collection ensures more glass is actually recycled rather than ending up in landfills.
Q: Do I Need to Rinse or Remove Labels From Glass?
A: Preparing your glass for recycling is easy:
- Empty all containers completely.
- Remove lids and corks (these can go in your regular recycling bin).
- Labels do not need to be removed – our process handles this.
- Rinsing is not required, though it may help prevent odors in your home.
Can I recycle glass that’s broken?
Absolutely! Broken glass is perfectly acceptable in our collection program. In fact, breaking glass into smaller pieces is the first step in our recycling process, so pre-broken glass saves energy. Just place broken pieces safely in your bin to protect our collection team.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can Holladay businesses use this service too?
A: We design custom commercial glass recycling solutions for Holladay restaurants, breweries, offices, and retail stores. Our business specialists create pickup schedules and container configurations tailored to your specific volume and operational requirements. Contact us to discuss how glass recycling can support your company’s sustainability initiatives and reduce waste disposal costs.
Q: How does monthly billing work for residents?
A: Billing is completely automatic and hassle-free through Wasatch Front Waste & Recycling. Your $8.50 monthly service fee appears on your monthly waste bill alongside your regular services. No separate bills to track, checks to write, or payment deadlines to remember. We handle all the billing coordination so you can focus on reducing your environmental impact.
Q: What happens to my glass after collection?
A: Your recycled glass travels directly to our Salt Lake City facility—the only glass processing plant in Utah. We transform bottles and jars into premium cullet that local manufacturers use for fiberglass insulation, sandblasting media, and water filtration systems. This keeps recycling jobs and economic benefits in our community rather than shipping materials out of state.
Q: Why can’t glass go in my regular recycling bin?
A: Glass creates serious safety hazards when mixed with other recyclables. Broken glass can injure sorting facility workers and contaminate paper and plastic materials, making them unusable. Our dedicated glass collection protects workers while ensuring your containers become high-quality recycled products instead of contributing to Utah’s growing landfill waste problem.
Q: What if I forget to put my bin out on collection day?
A: Don’t worry—it happens to everyone! Simply hold onto your glass until the next month’s collection. Our bins are designed to accommodate two months of typical household glass if needed. You can also drop off glass at any of our 60+ public collection sites around the valley, or contact us if you need guidance on backup options.
Q: Is there any long-term contract required?
A: No contracts or commitments required! We operate on a simple month-to-month basis because we believe in earning your business through excellent service. You can pause or cancel anytime without penalties, fees, or hassles. This flexible approach gives you complete control over your recycling service as your household needs change.
Q: What if I need a second recycling bin?
A: Large families or frequent entertainers can easily add a second bin to handle extra glass volume. Contact our customer service team to add a second bin—we’ll coordinate delivery and update your billing automatically.
Q: Who should I contact with recycling questions?
A: Our knowledgeable customer service team enjoys helping Holladay residents succeed with their recycling efforts! Call us at (801) 355-0334 with questions about specific glass items, bin placement, or any service concerns.
