Program Overview

The Recycling Rebate program application period for 2025 is closed and funding has been distributed to qualified applicants. Thank you for your interest in recycling opportunities around Colorado!

The first Colorado Circular Communities (C3) Recycling Rebate opportunity provided financial assistance for the collection and transportation of recyclables to processing facilities through the support of free, public recycling drop-off sites. This support is especially important in rural areas that are impacted by the costs of transporting materials long distances to bring commodities to market.

C3 is working out the details of the next rebate program and will share updates when planning is completed.
