Eco-Cycle and CoPIRG Foundation announce the release of our 8th annual State of Recycling and Composting in Colorado report. This year’s report finds that while Colorado’s population is steadily growing, the amount of waste we are generating has slightly declined since 2018. Unfortunately, the rate at which we divert materials away from landfills through recycling and composting has stayed stubbornly low.
