What Is EPR?

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is a new Colorado recycling program designed to improve recycling access and reduce costs for residents across the state.

Under the program, companies that create packaging and paper products help fund recycling systems throughout Colorado. This investment helps expand recycling infrastructure, improve education, and make recycling more accessible for communities that previously did not have it.

In simple terms: more households gain access to recycling, services become available at no additional cost to residents, and Colorado communities can recycle more materials more efficiently.

How EPR Works
🏭
Producers Fund the System

Companies that make packaging and paper products pay into a statewide recycling fund.

🏗
Infrastructure Gets Built

Those funds go toward expanding collection, processing facilities, and education programs.

🏠
Communities Benefit

Haulers like Apex can offer recycling service at no additional cost to residential customers.

You Recycle More

Convenient curbside service makes it easy for every household to participate.

✍ No Recycling Service Yet?

Here Is What Is Coming Your Way

If you currently only have trash service through Apex, that is about to change. When EPR launches in your area, recycling will be added to your service automatically. Here is what to expect.

Recycling at No Additional Cost

Recycling service will be added to your account at no extra charge once the EPR program launches in your zone.

🛒
A Cart Delivered Right to Your Door

We will drop off a recycling cart at your home before service begins. No pickup required on your end.

📍
Curbside Pickup on Your Normal Day

No extra trips, no drop-off locations. Just roll your cart to the curb on your regular service day.

🌿
Less Going to the Landfill

More materials recovered means a cleaner Colorado and a smaller footprint for your household.
