The Park City Community Foundation is making it easy for residents to divert their food waste, working towards its food waste goals for 2030.

The Foundation is aiming to divert all of Park City, Utah’s food waste from landfills by 2030 as part of its Zero Food Waste program. City residents can request a special bin from Momentum Recycling to discard compostable materials. Those materials are then transported to a digester where it’s converted into natural gas or compost.

Andy Hecht, the climate fund manager at the Park City Community Foundation, estimates that 800 bins have been distributed since June 2024.

“We have been calculating, just in the infancy of the program, we are pushing $100,000 in savings at the landfill,” said Tim Loveday, the superintendent of solid waste for Summit County.
