The City of Fort Collins has begun its new Contracted Residential Trash and Recycling Program to approximately 35,500 households. “We’re excited the City’s Residential Trash and Recycling Collection program is underway,” said Fort Collins City Manager Kelly DiMartino. “The program increases opportunities for diverting material from the landfill, provides consistent and transparent pricing and increases safety and reduces emissions by reducing the number of trash trucks on residential streets. By participating in the program, residents are helping us make strides toward our Zero Waste Goals as part of Our Climate Future.”
