Participating Service Providers

Recycling services funded by Colorado’s EPR program

These participating service providers offer recycling services funded through Colorado’s Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) program, meaning brands help cover the cost of recycling common household packaging. More providers will be added as the program continues to roll out across Colorado. Check back monthly to see who’s joined the program!
