hamilton glass drop-off events
Recycling Works partners with Ravalli County Recycling to host Hamilton glass recycling drop-off events three times a year at the Ravalli County Fairgrounds. It’s easy to participate — just bring your clean glass, make a suggested $1 per gallon donation, and you’re done. Proceeds support public education programs and housing initiatives across Montana.

How to Recycle Your Glass at Drop-off Events
Glass must arrive clean with no caps, corks, or lids – labels are fine. We accept all colors of food-grade glass, but cannot take Pyrex, windows, or lightbulbs. Additionally, please bring glass in sturdy containers, boxes, or bags. For safety reasons, please do not intentionally break glass before events.
Finally, the suggested donation is $1 per gallon of glass recycled. Proceeds support local public education programs and housing initiatives.
Why Hamilton Glass Drop-Off Events Matter
Glass is one of the most recyclable materials on earth — it can be remelted endlessly without losing quality. Every bottle you bring to a Hamilton glass recycling drop-off gets crushed locally and shipped to Momentum Recycling in Salt Lake City, where it becomes new bottles and other glass products. By recycling your glass instead of sending it to the landfill, you’re helping keep Western Montana beautiful — and supporting local schools through our GiveBack Grant program.
