|| Recycling Services in Summit County

The Frisco Recycling Center is located at the County Commons, off Highway 9 just south of Frisco. NOTE: On Tuesday, October 27, Summit County Recycling staff moved the Frisco Recycling Drop-off Center to its new location – just across the street at the County Commons, next to the Colorado State Patrol building. The drop-off center was moved to make room for the new County Maintenance Facility which will be built over the next year. Read more here. The Breckenridge Recycling Center is located on County Rd 450, at the corner of 7-Eleven on the north side of town, ¼ mile on the left.  Both locations are open 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.  The Dillon recycling trailer can be found in the Dillon Town Hall parking lot most days. You can find Dillon Town Hall from U.S. Highway 6, turn on to Lake Dillon Drive, ¼ mile on left (cattycorner to the Dillon Post Office). For more directions, please contact the Conservation Center at 668-5703.

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, aka landfill) in Keystone, where they are sorted, bailed, and shipped all over the United States to be made into new products. Summit County's MRF is pictured above.

For answers to your recycling questions, please contact High Country Conservation Center (HC3) at 668-5703. 

Some recyclables are accepted at SCRAP (landfill), such as appliances and wood waste (check our sorting guide for details).  The landfill is located two miles north of Keystone, less than a quarter mile north of Highway 6 on Landfill Road. They are open Mondays through Fridays 7:00am to 4:00pm and closed Saturdays and Sundays.  There are intermittent closures due to weather, therefore we recommend contacting them before making the drive 468-9263.  

Currently Summit County Recycling does not offer curbside collections of recyclables.  There are several private recycling collection services available to residents and businesses in Summit County though. Please call them directly for estimates and rates.

The High Country Conservation Center offers free waste audit and recycling consultations to residents and businesses.  For help starting or improving upon a waste reduction and recycling program please visit our Zero Heroes page or contact us at 668-5703 or info@highcountryconservation.org.
