METRO DENVER DROP OFF RECYCLING SITES

An important “single stream” recycling option for all metro Denver households is the network of over 250 drop off receptacles managed and sponsored by the El Jebel charity.

El Jebel’s single stream system accepts the 12 common, household container and paper recyclables in one receptacle in a commingled manner. This network, which extends up to Greeley, Brighton, Ft. Collins and other communities north of the Denver area, has sites in all types of places including shopping centers, apartment complexes, churches, schools, businesses and other easy access locations. Contact El Jebel at: www.eljebelshrine.org/recycle.htm for addresses of the closest receptacle. The El Jebel drop off sites are positioned so that almost all metro Denver residents are close to one or more of them.

There are also many other recycling centers consumers can drop off common, household container and paper recyclables.
