This year, we’re excited to introduce a new way to join the 100 Mile Meal celebration: Recycle Utah Rendezvous, where we’ll reveal a first look at the designs and the vision for Recycle Utah’s future home. Guests can attend the dinner and stay for the Rendezvous, or purchase a separate ticket just for the evening celebration. 

Recycle Utah Rendezvous will be held after the 100 Mile Meal, from 7:30-10 pm at Red Pine Lodge.

If you’d like to purchase a ticket for the entire night, please visit this page.

Join Zero Waste Wasatch Back, Recycle Utah, and fulFILLed Lifestyle Co. for a free screening of The Plastic Detox on July 22 from 6–8 PM at the Jim Santy Auditorium.

In celebration of Plastic Free July, we’ll explore the impact of plastic on our bodies and discover simple, practical ways to reduce plastic use in our daily lives. Our screening will be followed by a conversation about plastics and what we can do in our communities to reduce plastic waste.

Join us for a tour of WM’s brand new Materials Recovery Facility & learn about innovations in recycling technologies. Get answers to your questions on curbside recycling and see how your recycling is sorted. Please carpool if possible. Registration required.

Please meet at the office on the southeast side of the property. PPE is required for the tour. WM will provide Hard Hats, Vests, and Safety Glasses. Please bring steel toed shoes if you can. Please be advised, the facility is spread out between 4 different floors and there are many flights of stairs to ascend. Groups of 5 people and under are required due to the noise in the facility.

This April, we will toast to all we’ve accomplished together and look ahead to what is next for Recycle Utah. Join us in celebrating our beautiful planet and the work we do together to protect it.

Our 2026 Earth Day Celebration will be held at Green Business Program member, Twisted Fern, on Earth Day, Tuesday, April 22 from 5 to 8 pm. Enjoy locally-sourced food, delicious drinks, and a silent auction featuring local businesses, all in support of Recycle Utah’s resource conservation mission. 

Tickets are $75 through the end of March and $100 starting April 1st. This is a 21+ event.

Recycle Utah has always been powered by people who believe local action creates real change. This celebratory event will directly support Recycle Utah’s critical recycling services, education, outreach and advocacy as we open a new chapter for our organization. 

Zero Waste Wasatch Back is a community-driven group of Wasatch Back residents committed to taking personal and collective action to reduce waste and preserve natural resources in our homes, neighborhoods, businesses, and shared spaces—supporting a cleaner, healthier, more sustainable future for all. It goes beyond asking “what can I do with …?…besides throw it away?” and moves towards “how can we stop the over-extraction that necessitates these massive waste streams?”

The next meeting will be Monday, June 22nd at 6:30 PM at fulFILLed Lifestyle Co. We will be talking about plastic waste in our lives and sharing waste reduction tips. Consider collecting all the plastic waste you generate in a week and doing an audit to see what your most common waste streams are before the meeting.
