We Are All In
Together, we are eliminating and diverting all food waste from the Summit County landfill by 2030.
As a tight-knit community deeply rooted in our natural surroundings, we believe in caring for the health and wellbeing of one another and the place we call home.
We are all in this together
Park City and Summit County residents, local authorities, businesses, and nonprofits are dedicated to Zero Food Waste. It's happening through collaboration, investment, innovation, and leadership from all sectors.
Why Food Waste?
When food waste ends up in a landfill, it releases harmful gases, pollutes our water, and costs our community money. It's a simple action with high impact.
Releases Methane
Food waste is a major contributor to the climate crisis as it releases methane, a greenhouse gas much more potent than carbon dioxide.
Takes Up Valuable Space
Food waste takes up nearly 50% of the air space at the Summit County landfill.
