CAA Touts Benefits of EPR Program in Colorado

More Colorado residents are receiving recycling at no cost through the state's EPR program for packaging and paper products. Circular Action Alliance Colorado (CAA Colorado), the state-appointed Producer Responsibility Organization (PRO) responsible for implementing the program, has entered into funding agreements with the City of Cortez on behalf of both Cortez and the Town of Dolores as well as the Town of Oak Creek. The City of Golden, the City of Thornton and several others are expected to join the program soon, further expanding access to producer-funded curbside recycling services in Colorado communities. The overall program is also funding a network of recycling collectors and processing facilities that will help strengthen recycling statewide. Apex Waste Solutions, Boulder County, Bruin Waste, Clean Valley Recycling and Ranch Creek Waste were among the first facilities with service agreements in place as discussions are also underway with several additional facilities, including Republic Services, Waste Connections of Colorado, and Waste Management.
