Living in Park City means caring about our mountain environment, but finding convenient ways to recycle food waste has been nearly impossible – until now. While Summit County’s beautiful landscapes deserve protection, food waste makes up nearly 30% of landfills, creating harmful methane emissions and taking up precious space.
At Momentum Recycling, we understand your frustration with limited recycling options that don’t align with your environmental values.
That’s why we’ve partnered with the Park City Community Foundation’s Zero Food Waste program to bring you a comprehensive curbside food waste composting service. Our simple three-step process turns your kitchen scraps into renewable natural gas that powers local homes, while creating nutrient-rich fertilizer for area farms. Join 800+ Park City households already making a measurable environmental impact.
Pick your tote size and use promo codes ZEROFOODWASTE5 or ZEROFOODWASTE16 at checkout. You will need to pay the startup fee of either $25 or $50, but the weekly pickup service will be free for the remainder of the year. Standard pricing after promotion begins at $19.50/month.
Spread the word and earn 2 free months for every Summit County friend or neighbor you successfully refer. Make sure your referral includes your name and phone number when they sign up. We will call you to confirm the account and credit the next two months of service.
