Proposed producer responsibility primary regulations

The Solid Waste and Materials Management Program is proposing changes to Section 1.8 of the Regulations Pertaining to Solid Waste Sites and Facilities, 6 CCR 1007-2 Part 1.

The Producer Responsibility Program for Statewide Recycling Act was signed into law in June 2022. We are required to annually adjust by rule the dollar limitation for realized gross total revenue of producers exempt from the requirements of the producer responsibility program under 25-17-7 C.R.S. These adjustments are based on the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics local consumer price index. We are also required to establish rules for the administration, operation, and enforcement of the program.

We held a stakeholder meeting on April 15, 2025 to discuss the proposed changes and receive feedback. You can view the meeting recording here.

Stakeholders can email written comments to eprcomments@state.co.us with the word "Rulemaking" in the subject line. The last day to provide written public comments on the proposed changes is May 7, 2025.

For questions about the proposed changes, or rulemaking process, please contact Mellik Gorton, Producer Responsibility Program Lead, at mellik.gorton@state.co.us or 303-692-3343.
