Message from GSPD

The Glenwood Springs Police Department has seen a significant increase in shoplifting at local businesses and packages stolen from front porches.

A few tips from the PD:

Never leave visible packages in your car unattended
Have a blanket in your car to cover purchased items
Be aware of deliveries that may come to your door
If possible, have a neighbor watching to get the delivery inside as quickly as possible
Keep your purse and wallet with you, not left in a shopping cart or you car
Always lock your home and vehicle!

Please be aware and call if you see anyone or anything that looks suspicious and out of place.

New Procedure for Dropping-Off Glass at South Canyon Landfill

The recycle center at the South Canyon Landfill now has a special container for glass drop-off.
The City needs your help to make this transition a success. It is estimated that under 17% of the glass currently dropped-off for recycling actually gets recycled. This is because glass products that are not separated from single-stream recycling containers tend to breakdown into small fragments that are not easily sorted, also affecting the ability of other materials to be recycled. Help us ensure that 100% of the glass products dropped-off are re-used to make new glass products.
Below is a list of the glass items accepted and prohibited in the landfill’s new glass recycling container.

Items Accepted:

Glass Beverage Containers - Including Beer, Wine, & Liquor Bottles (All Colors)
Drinking & Wine Glasses
Jars & Containers

Items Prohibited:

Lids for Containers
Ceramic Cups and Dishes
Plastic Bags and/or Trash
Pyrex or Cookware
Mirrors, Windows, & Light Bulbs
Windshields

Recyclable goods can be dropped-off for free at the South Canyon Landfill. The landfill's recycling center can be reached by traveling 2.6 miles westward on I-70, getting off at Exit 111 via South Canyon. Once off the exit, travel 1.3 miles south on County Road 134 until you reach the Landfill. The recycle drop-off location is marked with a sign on the left.

The recycling center at the South Canyon Landfill is open Tuesday through Thursday and Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The landfill and recycling center will be closed on Christmas and New Year’s Day.
