Capturing Value in Colorado
Recycle Colorado is a 501(c)3, statewide nonprofit organization advancing circular economies & improving recycling across the state of Colorado. Our members share a vision to transform Colorado into a national leader in waste reduction, recovery, and diversion.
Our membership consists of 148 organizations and individuals who collaborate on problems, solutions, projects, and policy. With the support of our members, we are able to plan an annual Summit for Recycling conference, webinars, and many other educational events throughout the year. Colorado's recycling rate of 16% does not reflect the conservation mindset of its residents. We believe that communication between all aspects of the waste stream, haulers, producers, users, recyclers, composters, and cities and counties, is vital to achieving Colorado's diversion goals which preserve the state's beauty and resources.
The 2024 Summit for Recycling will be focused on how to overcome barriers to foster an equitable, feasible, and sustainable circular economy. We will combine informational sessions with workshops, tours, and networking opportunities to facilitate the sharing of best practices, innovations, and plans for the future.
What's the Summit like? Review the agenda to get a sneak peak at what the Summit will be like. You can also look through the Events Archive to see what topics were discussed in previous years.
Are you an exhibitor or sponsor? Recycle Colorado welcomes anyone to sponsor our event and to join us each year as an exhibitor throughout the conference. This is a great way to showcase your business to Recycle Colorado members and attendees.
Are you a student or young professional looking to get involved in the waste space? Recycle Colorado is striving to increase the presence of future leaders in the waste space at our events and in the industry. We currently offer the Future Leaders Scholarship for students who are currently enrolled in a university program to apply to to attend the conference for free. We are looking into other opportunities for engagement. If you have any suggestions or recognize any barriers to getting into the waste space, please let us know.
