Colorado’s recycling rate has dramatically improved — but read this with a giant asterisk. We’re now at 17.2% for 2018, an increase from the prior year’s 12%, according to the latest “State of Reycling in Colorado” report produced by Eco-Cycle and the Colorado Public Interest Research Group.

Colorado Solid & Hazardous Waste Commission passed a resolution in August 2017 to get the state to a 45 percent diversion, or recycling, rate by 2036, with a 51 percent goal for the Front Range and 15% for rural Colorado. But it’s just a goal. No penalties are part of the plan.
