Criterium Returns to Holladay

For the fourth year, the City of Holladay will host the Terry McGinnis Memorial Criterium on July 4. The event will mark the final day of the Utah City Crit Series that will start in Bountiful on June 30 and tour through three additional cities before finishing up in Holladay.

The criterium style of bike racing is fast and spectator-friendly as riders race around a lap course in multiple circuits, for a set length of time, for prizes, money and points. The first race is scheduled to start at 9:30 a.m., following the annual Holladay City children’s parade on the 4^th  of July.

Sponsored by the Holladay Chamber of Commerce and the City of Holladay, the event continues to grow each year as residents line the route to cheer on the competitors. The race begins on Holladay Boulevard, behind city hall, and runs clockwise over to 4500 South, up to 2300 East, along 2300 East and back down to Holladay Boulevard to finish.

Recycling Water Bottles (click here for an informational flyer)

Only about 25% of water bottles are recycled 

We throw away enough water bottles in 1 year to circle the earth 4 times

WHAT CAN I DO
* Take it Home: When you’re out and about and have a plastic bottle, bring it home for recycling if there are no recycling options around *Go Green: Use reusable water bottles instead of plastic bottles
*Be an Example: Always recycle to be an example to those around you at home or at work

GLASS RECYCLING - Changes

Did you know Glass is naturally 100% recyclable forever?

We are proud to continue offering our residents a glass recycling collection location, however we do have one major change. Please separate your brown glass from all other colors, as it will now be collected in a separate bin. Also remember to NOT dispose of your plastic or paper bags or cardboard boxes in the “glass only” bins. We do have a bin for the disposal of paper or cardboard sitting next to the glass recycling bins for your convenience. Thank you for helping to make Holladay’s recycling project a success!

Recycling bins are located in the parking lot south of City Hall. 

•       DO RINSE all bottles and jars. REMOVE metal lids. Paper labels are OK.

•       DON’T INCLUDE drinking glasses or window glass, light bulbs, mirrors or ceramics.  

•       DO PLACE LOOSE in recycling bin. NO BAGS or boxes PLEASE!!!

The glass will be processed by Glass Recycling Group, turned into a sand called cullet and used to make fiberglass insulation. The City hopes our residents will join in our efforts to recycle. With your help, more and more glass can be recycled -- saving valuable landfill space, natural resources and energy for a better environment for Holladay today and tomorrow.
