Construction and demolition diversion ordinance being considered
Public hearing set for Jan. 14
Aspen City Council is considering a policy that requires the separation and recycling of building materials from permitted projects.
The ordinance would mandate that permitted projects greater than 2,000 square feet of construction mitigation disturbance area must separate all recoverable materials generated by construction and demolition activity from the trash. Recoverable materials would have to be separated by type and designated for recycling, repurposing, reuse, or any other alternative recoverable management practice approved by the city.
A public hearing on the second reading of the ordinance is scheduled for Tuesday Jan. 14 at 5 p.m. at council’s regular meeting.
