Historic Park City Recycling and Trash

REpublic Services

Republic Services holds the contract for trash removal within the Main Street Business Improvement District.  Every business license holder in the district is required to have an account with Republic Services.

The new trash contract, with Republic Services, begins in December 2020.  The trash costs will be more than the reduced amounts seen since March.  The HPCA was able to subsidize costs for the past nine months.  The December Republic Services bill will be approximately 25% less than what businesses were paying in February 2020.

Mobile Recycling Center

The Mobile Recycling Drop-off Center is available for use by all merchants.  The center accepts sorted cardboard, paper, plastic, aluminum, metal, polystyrene, and glass (wine box size amount) from any business in Park City's Business Improvement District. 

The program is operated by Good Earth Recycling.  Get to know them better and visit this Meet the Merchant post.

Days of Service: During the off-season, the center visits on Mondays and Fridays.  On December 2, the center moves to pick-ups on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

Common Trash and Recycling Containers

Many businesses utilize the common containers in Swede Alley for their trash and recycling instead of housing a trash container at their business.  If you have questions about the common containers or about your service please contact alison@historicparkcityutah.com.

** All trash and recycling must be placed within the container.  Items that are not within the containers are an additional fee for Republic Services to pick-up and for Park City Municipal to clean.  These costs will be charged back to the business whose trash was placed outside of the container. **

Types of Trash Accounts

Shared Containers
Businesses can determine which type of trash service best serves them.  There are five (5) containers in Swede Alley that are part of the shared program.  There are also two (2) cardboard containers and one (1) mixed-use container in the Brew Pub Parking Lot. This program splits the cost of removal and recycling among those using the program based on square footage and a use factor.  This is the most cost-effective option.

Individual Dumpster
There are some buildings that provide a specific dumpster for tenants to use.  Building owner pays the cost for trash removal and depending on the lease, passes on the cost to tenants.  Businesses that wish to have an individual dumpster needs to have private property for its location.

Toters
Similar to home trash pick-up, businesses can determine the number of toters they need and can set up a frequency for pick-up.  The individual business is responsible for trash removal costs.  All toters must be stored inside or screened from view.

New businesses need to contact Alison Kuhlow and specify which type of service the business selects. alison@historicparkcityutah.com
