About This Location

This is one of Murray City's two public glass recycling drop-off bins, located at Germania Park on the west side of the city along Murray Parkway Avenue (about 5243–5390 Murray Pkwy Ave / 1060 W 5300 S). Glass is pulled out of Murray's curbside stream, so the city set up these free, unstaffed containers where residents can bring bottles and jars of any color at any hour. Broken glass and plate glass are fine, but the bin is strictly for container glass — no ceramics, Pyrex, light bulbs or mirrors. The second city bin sits at Murray Park (296 E Murray Park Ave).
