Colorado recyclers highlight efforts to create local uses for recyclable products
This year’s annual meeting of the Colorado Association for Recycling at Acreage Ciderhouse and Eatery in Lafayette focuses on CAFR's work to create local markets in Colorado. The event September 11 begins at 12:00 PM with a business networking meeting and opens to the public at 3:00 PM for recycling education presentations.
Did you know that the recycling rate in Colorado is only 12% compared to 34% in the rest of the country?
CAFR created this video to showcase the recycling challenges and successes in Colorado. Watch it and be inspired to improve Colorado’s recycling efforts! And help us get the word out by sharing the video with a friend.
