Charting a New Course
How do you see the future of solid waste management in Colorado?  Increased reliance on landfill disposal, or increased waste reduction, recycling and composting?  How will this affect the way you do business?  How might this vision vary across the state, allowing for regional differences?
Charting a New Course is your opportunity to share what you and your community need to improve, implement, and/or design an effective and sustainable solid waste management system:

  • Collaborate and share ideas with diverse stakeholders from across the entire state.
  • Explore a variety of environmentally sound and financially sustainable options to advance waste reduction, reuse, recycling and composting. 
  • Identify new approaches to equipment and facility needs, education and legislation to increase waste reduction and recycling throughout Colorado’s highly diverse regions.
  • Recommend new financing models that include grants and innovative state, regional, local and private funding.
  • Increase manufacturer and consumer responsibility for waste reduction.
  • Cultivate the growth of “green” businesses and new jobs.

Come for the great food, and stay to help design the next generation of solid waste initiatives in Colorado
