Know someone who went above and beyond in recycling, composting, or waste diversion? Every year, we seek nominations for our annual recycling and composting awards. These prestigious awards recognize governmental entities, individuals, companies, media and organizations for their excellence in recycling and composting. Award winners are honored at our annual Summit for Recycling Awards Gala. Check out the 2024 winners!

Are you a student or young professional looking to get involved in the waste space? Recycle Colorado is striving to increase the presence of future leaders in the waste space at our events and in the industry. Every year we offer the Future Leaders Scholarship for students who are currently enrolled in a higher education program to apply to attend the conference for free.
