Waste characterization study conducted to guide zero-waste planning

Examination of current solid waste management to increase waste diversion

Report outlines the Needs Assessment study that evaluated the recycling infrastructure, services, and costs throughout all geogrphic ares of the state and proposed three scenarios for increasing collection and recycling rates in Colorado by 2030 and 2035.

Partnering with Eco-Cycle, resource to collect data of waste diversion programs and policies

Evaluation with costs for moving public collection system to PAYT, adding subscription compost & expanding drop-site collection of recyclables & organics (has good cost data when available)

Included commercial waste audit, business survey & stakeholder discussions with recommendations for hauler licensing & reporting, enhanced drop-site collection, dedicated marketing & employee education & improved enclosures
