How do you recycle?

There are two ways to recycle in Summit County, and the rules are different for each. Follow the Single Stream rules if you get your recycling picked up at your home or HOA and the Drop Off rules if you sort your recycling at the free drop-off sites.

What happens to our recycling?

All materials recycled at the drop-off centers are transported to the Summit County Resource Allocation Park (SCRAP, also the landfill), where they are sorted, baled, and shipped all over the United States to be made into new products. Single stream is baled at the SCRAP, after which it is transported to Denver for further sorting and sale.
