Sorting conveyors inside a materials recovery facility

Recycle right, and keep more out of the landfill

Schedules, accepted materials, and practical guidance for households and businesses that want recycling to actually work.

Recycling that reflects how material is really processed

Contamination is the biggest reason recyclable material ends up in a landfill. ACE focuses on clear, honest guidance about what our facilities can actually process.

Household recycling, commercial cardboard programs, and community education all connect back to the same goal: cleaner loads and better recovery rates across Northern Utah and Wyoming.
