Eco-Cycle: Green Movement Expands in Colorado

Remember back to just the beginning of the recycle effort? The weekly trip to Eco-Cycle.

The first step was set up containers for each category in the  garage:  glass – newspaper/paper – cans, and it did not take long for the bins to fill up.   Next step, load into (I was lucky to have a mini van) a vehicle, take to the Pearl Street drop off and load into the appropriate bins.  Eco-Cycle, Boulder, Colorado: Great place to meet people, as they too haul recycles to the correct giant bin for depositing materials.

Fast forward to 2014.  Eco-Cycle is one of the largest non-profit recyclers in the United States.  Now, disposal of recycle materials is a matter of curbside deposit, extended to include compost, picked up via garbage collectors like Western Disposal.  Best part, the recycle materials are all ‘commingled’, making the process even easier.
