Statewide Organics Management Plan
The department is in the process of developing our state’s first ever organics management plan and is seeking input from interested stakeholders.
Register now to attend one of several regional virtual stakeholder meetings. During the meeting, the state’s consultant team will present the initial findings of a recently conducted organics waste survey and solicit feedback on the aims, strategies, and policies to be considered for Colorado’s statewide organics management plan.
Meetings will be clustered around geographic regions in the state. Please register for the meeting in your region. If you cannot attend your regional meeting, you can sign-up to attend another region’s meeting. Please do not register for multiple meetings as the content will be nearly the same for each event.

Producer Responsibility Stakeholder Process – Senate Bill 20-055
Senate bill 20-055 required our department to conduct a literature review on producer responsibility programs throughout the U.S. and create policy recommendations based on the findings of the literature review. After surveying stakeholders, holding two stakeholder meetings, and incorporating public comments into the draft, the final literature review and policy recommendations below were submitted on July 1, 2021 to the Colorado General Assembly.

Upcoming stakeholder outreach meetings
The Solid Waste and Materials Management Program will be hosting outreach meetings for our stakeholders during 2020 and 2021. We plan to host the stakeholder meetings in various locations throughout the state and will seek input on topics of interest before holding each meeting. Meeting content will be directed to a variety of stakeholders such as: local officials, landfill operators, recyclers, composters, local environmental health professionals, or anyone else interested in solid waste management.
We are working with the Colorado chapter of the Solid Waste Association of North America (SWANA) to offer continuing education credits to those certified through SWANA's Manager of Landfill Operations course.
Please send an email to comments.hmwmd@state.co.us and write "Outreach" in the subject line, or call 303-692-3320 to RSVP.
