Recycling in Murray: A Local Guide
Murray, a city in Salt Lake County along the I-15 corridor, is home to two specialized recycling operations that serve different needs. One is a commercial precious-metals refiner; the other is a free, unstaffed city-run glass drop-off available around the clock. Together they reflect Murray's mix of light-industrial businesses and public recycling infrastructure.
Hammers PGM Refining & Recycling at 4232 S 500 W is a platinum-group-metals specialist focused entirely on catalytic converters. According to Murray City Conditional Use Permit records, the facility sorts, grades, and boxes converters on-site for PGM refining, purchasing them from licensed businesses such as wrecking yards, scrap dealers, and automotive service franchises. This is a commercial buying operation—not a household recycling drop-off—open Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM. Call (801) 290-2237 before visiting to confirm whether individual sellers are accepted.
The Glass Recycling Container at Germania Park (Murray Pkwy Ave near 1060 W 5300 S) is one of Murray City's two free, unstaffed public glass drop-off bins. It is accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week. All bottle and jar colors—clear, brown, green, and blue—are accepted together with no sorting required; broken glass is fine. Ceramics, Pyrex, windshields, light bulbs, fish tanks, and mirrors are not accepted. A second Murray City glass bin is located at Murray Park, 296 E Murray Park Ave.
