Stay Up to Date with Your Local Municipality’s Recycling and Sustainability Offerings!

Recycling options here in Colorado can vary greatly from city to city - for example, Denver has a substantial curbside recycling program while the nearby towns of Aurora, Littleton, and Englewood offer no curbside recycling options. Similarly, each municipality has very different initiatives and plans when it comes to sustainability and conservation. 

All of these differences can cause confusion amongst residents since it isn’t always easy to find the proper resources online. Someone living just outside of Denver may think that since Denver offers certain resources, their town does too, but that is not usually the case. 

Happy Beetle customers already know who to give their hard-to-recycle materials to - that’s us! With that being covered, we thought it might be useful to put together a comprehensive list of all the local recycling and sustainability resources that each of the towns and cities we service offer. Check the alphabetical list out below and get to know the place you call home a little better!
