About Us

Glass Roots Recycling was started by a team of students from Brigham Young University who noticed a lack of glass recycling service in the Utah Valley. Knowing that glass is 100% recyclable, we decided to create our own glass recycling company. Making glass recycling as easy and efficient as possible is our number one goal in helping Utah Valley residents to be better stewards of the planet.

What we do

At Glass Roots Recycling, we provide a glass pickup service for residents of Provo and Orem, Utah.

Why recycle glass?

Recycling glass is a crucial step toward a sustainable future. Here’s why recycling glass matters:

• Glass is 100% recyclable. This means that glass can be recycled over and over again without loss in quality or purity.

• It takes 1 Million Years for glass to completely decompose in landfills.

• Recycling glass uses 82% less water than making new glass and saves 345 kWh of energy per ton recycled
