Utah Recycling Information
Find recycling information for Utah cities located along the Wasatch Front
Some Utah cities have their own mixed recycling programs, while others partner with independent recycling corporations. Each of these may differ on exactly what items are accepted for recycling, so it is important to check with your specific provider.
Currently, I have only listed cities along the Wasatch Front. For Utah recycling information by county, click here.
Find a recycling facility near you using the Dept. of Environmental Quality’s recycling map.
Glass
All glass throughout the state is recycled seperately through Momentum Recycling. Their curbside glass recycling service is available in many cities, and continually expanding to more. The charge for this service is $8.50/month for monthly glass pickup. I have been a customer since this program began and I highly recommend it for convenience and ease. Click here for more information, to sign up, or express your interest if not yet available in your city.
If you aren’t in an area that offers curbside glass recycling, drop-offs are scattered throughout the valley. Find Momentum Recycling glass drop-off locations.

Salt Lake County Curbside Recycling
Each city in Salt Lake County has access to curbside mixed recycling through either contracted or city run services. Remember that mixed recycling consists of paper, plastic, and metal materials, though this varies with each service provider. (For universal how-to’s for recycling, click here.)
Salt Lake City provides curbside green waste collection, but this is not the case for some other cities. If yours does not offer this service, make sure to express your desire for that service to your local waste management office. In the meantime, one option is to sign up for service with Wasatch Front Waste and Recycling District.
Be aware that if you transport green waste to the Salt Lake Valley landfill yourself, it goes into the trash section and not with the rest of the compost. I was told it is a space issue. Instead, take your green waste to other locations, especially if you have frequent large loads of green waste, such as from a landscaping business. Try Diamond Tree Experts or Oquirrh Mountain Compost. It is probably less of a commute than to the dump and a much greener endeavor to turn green waste into mulch or compost.
