Recycle Utah

The Park City Conservation Association dba Recycle Utah is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization that has served residents of Summit County since 1991. We are committed to reducing waste and preventing ground water pollution in our community. We do so by offering a variety of collection programs, education programs, workshops, and events. As long as the health of our local and global environment is a concern, we will strive to offer community-based resources and solutions.

Our mission is to empower people to lead sustainable lives.
Drop off your recyclable materials; browse the Warehouse for re-usable building materials, fixtures, and appliances; and look for our special collection programs, such as snow sports equipment, bike tires, and planter pots.

Recycle Utah provides recycling services to residents of Summit and Wasatch Counties. We accept over 50 different items, including standard materials such as cardboard, white paper, mixed paper, glass (all 4 colors), aluminum, mixed metal, and plastics #1-7, including plastic bags.

Additionally, we accept materials that aren't commonly collected, such as EPS white packing foam and electronic waste. We also offer special collection programs for short periods of time, such as snowsports equipment and bike tires.

Our Warehouse accepts donations of good building materials, fixtures, and appliances and re-sells them for thrift store prices. We collect and re-sell moving boxes and packing materials as well.

In addition to collection, Recycle Utah is dedicated to educating our school children and the greater community about the social and environmental benefits of practicing the 3 R's that we all know so well- reducing, re-using, and recycling.

Brief History: A group of concerned citizens established the Park City Conservation Association in 1991 in response to a dire lack of recycling opportunities in the Park City area. They made it their mission to collect recycling, promote water conservation, and eventually to envision a zero waste plan for Summit County. Today we prevent 200 tons of valuable materials from wasting in the landfill every month. We accept over 50 different items for re-use, recycling, or haz-mat treatment. Our environmental educators visit up to 3,000 elementary school children throughout Summit and Wasatch Counties every year.

It’s about Water: Ground water plays an essential role in our environment and public health. What we put in our trash determines what leaches into our ground water the landfill! We help keep toxic waste out of the landfill so our drinking water is safe!
