RecycleRecycling is a big part of being green in Aspen and Pitkin County. 

 

 

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle! 

 

Pitkin County Recycling

 

Recycling encompasses a lot of different programs from the traditional recycling of plastic bottles, glass, cardboard, newspaper, etc to the non-traditional recycling of bio-solids, yard waste, soils, boulders, and reusable items.  Pitkin County is proud of the recycling programs it makes available to its visitors and citizens.

 

Not just recycling, but Resource Recovery . . .

City of Aspen Recycling

 

Our recycling collection program is a 4 bin system which means that all recyclable materials, such as office paper, co-mingled containers, cardboard, and newspaper/magazines must be separated into 4 different bins for pick up. The materials are then sent to Pitkin County Resource Recovery, located at the Pitkin County Landfill, where they are bailed and sold to manufacturers that turn our discards into new products.
