This recycling center is one of many mountain locations offered by the High Country Conservation…read moreCenter organization. It's free to the public and open all day, every day! We were so excited to learn about this place because Summit County does not offer curbside pick-up of recyclables unless you go through a private (and expensive) company. Since we have been building a house for the past year, you can imagine the wood, metal and cardboard waste and scraps - and okay, maybe juuust a few beer cans and Gatorade bottles - we've accumulated. This has become a weekly stop on our way home as we bring a trailer full of recyclables here rather than let them go to a landfill. There are huge roll-offs clearly labeled for different materials and with big steps so you can more easily get higher to toss in your stuff (if you're carrying large things, this is a huge help). They even take things like barbecues, space heaters and the like. I will admit that we've even found something to take home with us from one of the bins - a metal shelving unit that now sits in our garage. If that isn't recycling, I don't know what is. FYI, one thing they don't take is trash. But you can figure that out by reading the signs posted everywhere. The area is kept pretty clean and the bins are emptied frequently meaning we've never had an issue with lack of space for leaving our huge quantities of items. It's also located right across the street from the Habitat for Humanity Restore if you want to keep your green theme going. If you are up in the mountains for outdoor pursuits, there is no excuse not to take your beer cans here on the way home, or to their other locations in Dillon and Frisco! It will only take a couple of minutes. You don't have to interact with any staff, just pull in, drop off and be on your nature-loving, tree-hugging way. From their website: "All recyclables recycled at the drop-off centers end up at the Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) located at the Summit County Resource Allocation Park (SCRAP) in Keystone, where they are sorted, bailed, and shipped all over the United States to be made into new products." How cool is that?

Hello there! So there's a few misconceptions about this…read moreplace (Action Recycling Center) With COVID-19 being in place, their hours have changed like most other places, even big stores such as Walmart. Their hours Mon-Fri 8:30-4:30Pm & Sat 8-4Pm. Also when it comes to closing, like every other place, they ask for people to come 15 minutes before, so don't be that person who shows up last minute. They do have a strict policy as well with masks (it's mandatory). They are pretty nice people too, when you see a person on the street with no mask (nowadays), the average person doesn't just go up and yell at them. They're only asking for us to be considerate, since they are in the heat (or cold) all day long while wearing masks. Plus! Aren't they the ones who are gathering, sorting, and picking up your materials? That takes a toll on one's body, just saying‍ Lastly, when it comes to how clean the place is, it can get dirty yes, but they really do try to keep on top of it Thanks Action Recycling for being open during this pandemic and wish all of you guys well! Thanks for listening to my Ted Talk (Also I've heard some rumors saying how the workers don't respond when us customers are trying to say something, generally because they have earplugs or hard of hearing with the loud blaring equipment constantly running)

Friday comes and they have not picked it up. I called and they said, they didn't know if they could get there or not. They finally did pick it up on Friday. EVERYTHING took numerous calls and reminders.
