On February 5th, 2020, the City of Taylorsville in partnership with Momentum Recycling launched the curbside glass recycling program for residents to conveniently recycle their glass at home. For just $8/mo, residents receive their own 35-gallon grey cart specifically for collecting glass recyclables that Momentum Recycling services once a month.

Mayor Kristie Overson & City Council Visit Momentum Recycling’s Facility

We welcomed Taylorsville Mayor Overson and elected City Council officials for a visit this week so that they could see firsthand how Taylorsville’s glass is collected, processed & responsibly recycled. “It was fascinating,” said Mayor Overson. “I had no idea what an involved operation it is and of all its intricacies.”

After learning about how glass recycling helps create local jobs and directly supports Utah industry, they suited up in safety gear to walk through the facility. Below are some photos from their visit:
