Do you belong to a group that is interested in what happens to your trash and recyclables once Western collects them? If so, call us to schedule a tour of our Trash and Recycle Center. Nothing is better than hearing and seeing (and sometimes smelling!) the process to understand how it really works.


A behind-the-scenes walking tour lasts approximately 45 minutes. Your group will learn about Western’s recycling and diversion programs and see how Boulder County’s wastes are processed for delivery to their final destinations. 

 

Tours are available for all ages and can be customized to meet your specific needs and/or interests. 


Call Western at (303) 444-2037 or e-mail us at recycle@westerndisposal.com  to schedule your tour today.
