City of Aspen considering new ordinance

Aspen, CO - The city of Aspen is considering an ordinance mandating the recycling of construction and demolition debris and is soliciting feedback via a survey from those in the industry on potential impacts.

The diversion requirements of Pitkin County are that a minimum of 35% of total project related waste by weight shall be diverted from trash and that 100% of the materials listed as recoverable materials shall be diverted from trash.
