PARK CITY, Utah — This week Recycle Utah makes disposing your waste convenient.

Gather your residential waste. Separate it into recyclables, hazardous materials, garbage and yard waste. Take everything except mattresses, tires, refrigerators, and hazardous materials to:

On Sept. 30, from 9 a.m.–1 p.m., take your hazardous waste and mattresses to the Canyons Cabriolet parking lot. There is a $20 per item charge to dispose of mattresses. There are no charges for other items.

Hazardous waste accepted includes paints, varnishes, solvents, motor oil, antifreeze, batteries, propane and white gas fuel cylinders, compact fluorescent bulbs, electronic waste, mercury-containing items, pharmaceuticals and more. TVs must be small enough to be carried by just one person.

This fall the Bicycle Collective and Sunrise Rotary will be taking bikes in all conditions to be donated to people in need or sold to fund the collective’s charitable programs. Bicycles beyond repair will be recycled.

The Hazardous Waste Day is also supported by Park City Municipal, Summit County, and Snyderville Basin Water Reclamation District.
