waste reduction

High Country Conservation Center’s (HC3) Summit Recycling Project has many on-going programs.  Just a few are outlined here.  If you would like to inquire into a program that you see here- or one that you don’t- please contact us at recycle@colorado.net or 668-5703

Zero Waste (ZW) Consultations

Have an event coming up?  Interested in getting your office on board with zero waste?  We can help! 

We consult with businesses (and government and private residences too!) on zero waste.  We can help you establish an on-going program at home or work or we can help you in planning an event utilizing zero waste practices.  It is easier than you might think- and with our help it is even easier! 

Our ZW consultations start and end with a waste audit, so that you can see how much waste you eliminated through reduce, reuse, recycle and buy recycled approaches.  Contact us to get started today- 668-5703 or recycle@colorado.net.

Or learn more about zero waste in general. 

Master Mountain Composter (MMC)

The Master Mountain Composter Program runs each summer. This 8 week course trains residents to become experts in composting in a mountain environment.  The knowledge that they gain will be immediately invested in the community through the community outreach hours that they must meet to receive the title of “Master Mountain Composter.”  We are considering an on-line version of this program, so please let us know if this would be of interest to you by e-mailing holly@highcountryconservation.org
