Surrounded by golden aspens, crisp mountain air, and the beautiful reclaimed wood of Headwaters River Journey, our 2026 Annual Meeting was a day full of connection, collaboration, and a whole lot of Colorado spirit! Members gathered in Fraser for a morning of coffee and conversation, an energizing board candidate speed mingler, and an afternoon packed with updates on everything moving across Colorado’s diversion landscape. We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who made the journey to join us.

Shoutout to the incredible team at Headwaters River Journey for giving us such a beautiful space to gather. From a peaceful morning pond walk to a day of big conversations surrounded by the mountains, it was the perfect setting to reconnect with our community and look toward the year ahead.

And of course, no Recycle Colorado gathering is complete without good food! Bakehouse 232 and Après Eats kept everyone fueled throughout the day with a spread that brought plenty of happy faces to the table. ♻️🍴

We also loved keeping our commitment to closing the loop, with composting provided by our friends at Elements Mountain Compost. Because even our leftovers deserve a second life!

The grand finale? Happy hour at Vicious Cycle, where the conversations continued, new connections were made, and we got to celebrate another year of this wonderfully nerdy, passionate, and collaborative community.

Thank you to everyone who showed up, shared ideas, asked questions, connected with fellow members, and helped make Colorado’s diversion future a little brighter. 🏔️♻️
