Park City and Summit County, UT Advance Plans for Recycling Program

The plan includes multiple satellite drop-off locations throughout the county.

SEATTLE (Waste Advantage): Summit County and Park City officials are planning a new regional recycling program that would phase out Recycle Utah’s long-standing role as the county’s primary drop-off center, according to a joint draft letter dated May 19, obtained by TownLift.

The letter, awaiting the signatures of Park City Mayor Nann Worel and Summit County Council Chair Tonja Hanson, is addressed to Recycle Utah General Jim Bedell and Board Chair Ken Barfield, and announces the governments’ intention to launch a new recycling collection model by June 2026.

The plan includes multiple satellite drop-off locations throughout the county and a centralized site which will replace the nonprofit’s current Prospector location once its lease expires, June 30, 2026.
