Provo City Glass Recycling is a local recycling center in Provo that mainly handles glass and other common recyclables. Neighbors and small-scale drop-offs use it when they want to keep bottles and jars out of the landfill.
The site sits at 350 N Freedom Blvd and has the kind of layout where vehicles pull up to an entrance booth and then move to drop-off areas. Expect to see piles or bins of sorted glass and other materials, with traffic flow set up so cars and small trucks can back up to containers. There’s typically a scale to check weights at many recycling centers, so plan for a short stop on the way out. Because Utah is dry, the site can get dusty on busy days and there are usually concrete pads or paved areas for the main drop zones.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Separate glass from other recyclables at home so unloading is quicker and keeps things from smashing into mixed piles.
- Bring gloves and close-toed shoes; broken glass and dust are common, especially if the load has been sitting in a vehicle.
- Avoid peak weekend cleanup times (spring and holiday weekends get busy) and plan for some wait time if several vehicles are lined up.
