Colorado Curbside














Municipal Residential Curbside Recycling Services          

The information provided in this table demonstrates whether curbside recycling services in the community are provided by the municipality as a direct municipal service, whether the curbside recycling services are provided by the municipality through a contract with one or more private haulers, whether curbside recycling services are provided by private haulers under a municipal mandate to provide the service, whether the curbside recycling services are provided by the private haulers under a municipal mandate to offer the service, or whether the community relies upon private haulers and consumers to make appropriate contractual arrangements with each other.

Because several communities provided us with additional information regarding drop off recycling services, we added an additional column that displays drop off information. In many communities, curbside and drop off services both exist. However, the materials accepted by each may differ. Each program must be reviewed to determine acceptable products and any handling instructions. Although it may appear that including drop off information is beyond the scope of the survey, we had enough communities commenting on drop off that we believed including the information provided a more symmetrical view of the community recycling infrastructure.

It should be noted that this information is largely reflective of single family residential neighborhoods. Most communities consider multifamily communities to be commercial and do not provide service as a general rule. Several communities do provide service to multifamily, so each community must be queried to determine whether it services multifamily complexes.

Where there is no information, we are still working to verify the arrangement. Please let us know if any of this information is in error or needs updating.
