Here's how your funding helps us to make an impact in Colorado...
💚 Our Main Objective for Donations made this Gives Day 💚
In 2025 we are looking forward to participating in the CSU Impact MBA Summer Internship program, but this will only be possible if we can raise the funds. This program holds the promise of not only educating a graduate student about the amazing work in waste prevention, diversion, and recovery that our memberships does, but it promises to make the work of Recycle Colorado even more impactful.
Donations will continue to support our ongoing progress and programs:
♻️ Pass state policies which support recycling, remanufacturing and reuse, such as the Colorado Circular Communities Enterprise fund (C3), Producer Responsibility for Packaging and Paper, the Circular Economy Development Center, and renew the waste tire rebate program. Learn more!
♻️ Created a construction, deconstruction, and demolition toolkit to help communities in Colorado divert construction waste and prevent that waste from filling our landfills. Construction waste takes up a majority of landfill space in Colorado. Diverting it helps to reduce future costs for your community. View toolkit!
♻️ Host webinars, meetings, and roundtables to share best practices and problem solve waste issues. Watch Webinars!
♻️ Bring together government, businesses, and individual entities through the state's only annual recycling and composting conference. Learn more about the Summit for Recycling!
🤎 Support and advance the Colorado Composting Council's work to increase organic material recycling into a beneficial soil amendment. Learn more about Colorado Composting Council!

Recycle Colorado is committed to advancing infrastructure, end markets and state and local policies in waste reduction, recovery and diversion.
Recycle Colorado, originally known as the Colorado Association for Recycling, was established in 1991. We remained relatively small until 1998, when we were infused by a group of recycling stakeholders from around the state. Through successful fiscal management, coupled with strong volunteer involvement and commitment, the then 20-member association with an annual budget of $4,000 has developed into an effective organization with an annual budget of more than $350,000 and more than 200 members, including cities, counties, large and small businesses, nonprofits, and individuals. From an all-volunteer group and three-member board of directors, we've grown into a member organization with two paid staff and a 15-member board of directors.
Recycle Colorado continues to be a recycling and composting leader for the state of Colorado. We have since expanded our councils and committees to seven unique groups, increased our engagement at events, and have been engaged in recycling and composting policy efforts to help Colorado reach it's waste diversion goals.
