City Information & Events

Holladay Arts Council is proud to announce our first  2012  theatrical production "Dear Liar" 
February 10 at 7:00 pm

  Some great love stories don’t involve marriage and happily ever after, or even close proximity. Playwright George Bernard Shaw and actress Mrs. Patrick Campbell (the original Eliza Doolittle) loved and fought by letter over decades. Holladay Arts Council is proud to produce a staged reading of “Dear Liar” adapted from their letters by Jerome Kilty. This one-night event on February 10^th features Jacob Bruner as Shaw and Mary Sorensen as Mrs. Campbell. Bring your sweetheart and see how a social life lived with words should be led.

 Performances at Holladay City Hall February 10^th at 7:00 pm (4580 S 2300 E).  Admission is free.

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.

 Share-a-book - Read, Reuse, Recycle

 Share-a-book is working to improve literacy and reduce landfill. They collect books and media, sort through them for recycling and redistribute to those in need.

 Please help us by donating your unwanted books, DVD's, CD's and Media in the Greenbox located in the parking lot just south of City Hall, next to the glass and newspaper/cardboard recycling bins. 

We can all do our part to help make this a greener Earth. For more information visit www.share-a-book.org
