Colorado Springs
The public space recycling program will begin with 60 new combination trash and recycle bins in the core downtown area and 90 bins throughout seven of the City’s large community parks and sports complexes.
Greener Corners, a full-service public space recycling and environmental organization, will provide, install and maintain the recycling stations at no cost to the City or taxpayers. Advertisements sold by Greener Corners will be placed on the recycle bins in order to cover the cost of the recycling program and earn additional revenue for the City. Come celebrate a GREENER Colorado Springs!
