Hecht Replaces Bedell at Recycle Utah

Andy Hecht, the newest steward of Recycle Utah, arrives with a résumé steeped in grassroots sustainability and a penchant for aligning municipal blueprints with community activism. The four‑acre Lot 4 at Silver Summit, owned by Park City and Summit County under a land agreement, will serve as the nonprofit’s new address. The site, clad in native sandstone and framed by oxidized copper fences, promises an aesthetic that doubles as a fundraising tool, yet the return on investment remains murky. Park City Planning Commission approvals are signed, steel girders set, but the projected uptick in local tourism is speculative at best. ROI, measured in community goodwill and a vague uptick in waste diversion, does not translate into measurable capital appreciation. In this case, the prudent verdict is to Sue the HOA, because ignoring the self‑serving logic of the council would be the only honest path.
