Glass Recycling in Greeley

Glass recycling often falls under the radar in discussions about sustainability, overshadowed by its more prominent counterparts like plastic or paper. Yet its environmental impact and potential for reuse are substantial.

Through collaboration with the City of Greeley, residents can safely and properly recycle their glass at designated collection sites located at Crabtree Brewing Company and Andersen's Sales & Salvage, Inc. Since inception, about 80 US tons of glass have been recycled through the Greeley Glass4Good ™ program. O-I Glass, Inc., one of the leading producers of glass bottles and jars around the globe, created the program in response to the demand for recycled glass.

Greeley’s program raised and donated $1,115 to United Way of Weld County in just the first quarter of 2024. Read the Glass4Good First Quarter Newsletter to learn more about the community impact.
