5280 Recycling is Colorado’s leader in diverting manufacturing and construction and demolition waste material from the landfill through sorting, repurposing, and remanufacturing materials into new products. We create jobs, lessen environmental impact, and grow the local economy.
Creating circular economy solutions for hard-to-recycle materials.
From A to Z, we help you set up successful recycling collection and processing systems.
We create impactful education programs because people are the key to success in recycling.
Using advanced technologies, 5280 Recycling is pioneering innovative manufacturing processes for the economic reuse of hard to recycle construction and demolition materials. Our current project is recovering post-consumer drywall and using it to manufacture an outdoor landscaping block and construction sheet goods. Post-consumer drywall currently does not have any viable market for recycling.
5280 Recycling offers expertise and guidance in the development of waste management plans, material collection, material profiling, data collection, end market development, and grant writing.
We are focused on reaching people where they are with a message that is relevant to them, whether that be digitally, in print or in person. The 5280 Recycling staff have the expertise and experience in crafting outreach programs that are effective in getting a message across and in motivating people to act. 5280 also believes strongly in validating our efforts with data. Whether that be delivering the number of people we have actual conversations with, quantifying the actions taken or documenting the actual responses and feedback we receive, 5280 believes that we need to be able to measure everything we do to evaluate success.
5280 Recycling is locally owned and operated and is fully integrated into the Colorado and national recycling community and end-market networks for material recovery. 5280 Recycling, along with our sister companies, 5280 Waste Solutions and Starlight Software Solutions, leads the way in collaboration and circular economy solutions to produce products from materials.
