Park City is driving towards zero waste. We aim to prioritize “upstream” solutions using the zero-waste hierarchy:

  1. Prevent waste through source reduction
  2. Reduce waste through reuse and durable products
  3. Recycle materials to be made into new products
  4. Recover chemicals
  5. Energy recovery and disposal to landfill as least preferable

Park City is included in Summit County’s curbside recycling program with biweekly pickup. Read more here about what can and can’t go into the bin.

All Park City brick and mortar businesses will be required to provide proof of trash and recycling accounts with business license application and renewals starting in September 2026. Learn more about the Waste Reduction Ordinance and requirements or reach out to waste@parkcity.gov

The Green Business Program offers free resources and support to local businesses that want to reduce waste through smart sourcing and purchasing as well as recycling. You can set up a profile and login to access recycling signage and additional resources to improve your business’s waste reduction and recycling plan.

Recycle Utah provides recycling options for local businesses through its commercial membership program. Businesses that self-haul their waste to the recycling center as their recycling solution for the ordinance must register on the City’s waste reduction webpage above.

All Park City residents can access Recycle Utah to recycle items for free. They are located at 1951 Woodbine Way. They accept all typical household recyclable items, as well as many hard to recycle items.
