Solid Waste and Materials Management Program

The Colorado Solid Waste Act requires that all solid waste be disposed of, treated or recycled at designated facilities approved by both the Division and the local governing body with jurisdiction (county, city, town) in which the facility is located. All active solid waste facilities in the state are inspected periodically by Solid Waste technical staff to ensure that the facility is complying with its approved plan. Solid Waste staff also provide technical assistance to local health departments, planning officials, public and private operators and the general public on waste disposal methods, landfill design and operating techniques, and other solid waste issues.
