As a Bountiful resident, you care about protecting the beautiful natural surroundings that make our community special. You want to recycle responsibly, but throwing glass containers in the regular recycling bin feels wrong—and it is. Glass breaks easily during collection, creating safety hazards for workers and contaminating other recyclables.
At Momentum Recycling, we understand how frustrating it can be when you want to do the right thing environmentally but lack convenient options. That’s exactly why we created Utah’s only glass recycling facility in 2008. We’ve made glass recycling simple and accessible for Bountiful families through our convenient monthly curbside collection service and network of drop-off locations. Every piece of glass you recycle with us stays local, supporting Utah’s economy while creating renewable energy that powers homes right here in communities like Bountiful.
Your Simple 3-Step Glass Recycling Process
Getting started is simple: sign up online or call us, and we’ll deliver your cart within 7 days. Place it curbside on your monthly collection day, and our specialized trucks will empty it safely. Your glass travels to our facility where it’s broken down, cleaned, and sorted by color using advanced optical technology before becoming high-quality recycled materials for local manufacturers.
Convenient Monthly Glass Collection For Your Bountiful Home
Our monthly curbside service delivers a dedicated 35-gallon glass cart directly to your Bountiful home. Simply fill it with all your glass containers—no rinsing or label removal required—and we’ll collect it once per month on your designated pickup day. We process everything at our Salt Lake City facility, transforming your glass into cullet used for fiberglass, construction materials, and water filtration systems.
Why Bountiful Families Choose Glass Recycling
Environmental Benefits
Glass recycling conserves natural resources by saving over a ton of materials for every ton recycled—including 1,300 pounds of sand, 410 pounds of soda ash, and 380 pounds of limestone. It reduces carbon dioxide emissions by one ton for every six tons of recycled glass used, while extending landfill life and protecting the pristine landscapes that make Bountiful special.
Economic Benefits
Glass recycling creates 8-10 local jobs compared to just one job when glass goes to landfills, directly boosting Utah’s economy. By keeping materials in our local supply chain, we reduce transportation costs and support regional manufacturers. This translates to lower waste disposal costs for residents while building a sustainable green economy right here in Davis County.
Community Benefits
When Bountiful families recycle glass with us, they’re preserving the natural beauty that defines our area—from the Bonneville Shoreline Trail to the scenic Legacy Parkway. Your participation supports the same environmental stewardship values celebrated at the Bountiful History Museum, helping ensure future generations can enjoy Davis County’s pristine landscapes while building a stronger, more sustainable community together.

Make Glass Recycling Even Easier
Can I Recycle Broken Glass?
Absolutely! Broken glass is perfectly acceptable and safe in your collection bin. Our facility actually breaks all glass down into small particles during processing, so pre-broken pieces work just fine.
What About Labels and Lids?
Remove metal and plastic lids before recycling—they belong in your regular mixed recycling. Labels can stay on; our specialized equipment removes them during the cleaning process at our facility.
Do I Need to Rinse Glass?
No rinsing required! While removing food residue helps prevent odors in your bin, our industrial cleaning system handles dirty containers effectively, saving you time and conserving water at home.
Common Questions About Bountiful Glass Recycling
Q: How can my Bountiful business reduce waste costs through glass recycling?
A: We provide tailored commercial glass collection for Bountiful area businesses. Reach out to explore pickup schedules and competitive pricing solutions designed around your specific operational requirements.
Q: Why do I need a separate bin for my glass containers?
A: When glass shatters during collection, it creates dangerous sharp pieces that endanger facility workers. These tiny fragments also contaminate paper and plastic materials, making them unsuitable for reprocessing.
Q: How does my glass become local products that benefit Utah?
A: Your glass travels to our specialized processing facility in Salt Lake City—the Intermountain West’s exclusive glass recycling operation. We convert it into high-quality cullet that local manufacturers use for fiberglass insulation, concrete additives, and construction materials.
Q: Can I cancel my glass recycling service anytime?
A: Of course! Our service runs on a flexible monthly basis in Bountiful, allowing you to pause or discontinue anytime without early termination fees or binding agreements.
Q: How simple is it to pay for my monthly service?
A: We use convenient automated monthly credit card processing. Simply provide your card details when enrolling, and we manage all future transactions—eliminating the need for checks or cash payments.
