High Country Conservation Recycling Tips

Summit County/High Country Conservation Center offers single stream system for Home/HOA/Metro District pickup.  Single Stream Recycling  is more limited than drop off recycling (you bring to recycling center direct) due to contamination and other issues with mixing in a recycling truck.

There are many things we should not recycle and simply throw in the trash:

Please use the "Rocky, the Recycle Robot" (Link Provided) for any questions about your recycling. There are many items you can take to a recycle drop off location, but not into our dumpsters due to truck contamination. Recycle Robot will let you know where to bring your specific items.   For large items or household items you would like to recycle, you may also try using the "Eartha" tool also linked.
