“Recycling is really very much part of the culture of Fort Collins,” says Susie Gordon, Waste Reduction and Recycling Program Manager at The City’s Environmental Services Department. With ninety to ninety-five percent of single family residents using curbside recycling, just fifteen years after its original foray into recycling, the town has a handle on what Gordon refers to as “the curbside generation.” And now, the city is working to expand beyond single family homes to facilitate recycling for all its residents, regardless of where they live or work. “People are always saying ‘we want more opportunities to recycle more,’” Gordon says.
