EcoCycle's First 25
Years: Snapshots of a Community-Based Recycling Revolution
Thank you, Boulder County, for our
first 25 years as your community-based recycler. In the next two
issues of the EcoCycle Times we’ll be featuring some great
moments in EcoCycle history, shared by some of our founding volunteers,
employees, and EcoCycle “grandmothers.” There are far
too many stories to print, but here’s a taste of our rugged
beginnings and how a group of committed volunteers gave birth to
recycling in Boulder County — one of the first communities
to implement recycling in the United States. Many thanks to the
pioneers who started this recycling revolution and to those who
continue to carry on the legacy. We are honored to serve such a
dedicated community.

Everyone pitched in at EcoCycle—we even put future Colorado
Govenor Roy Romer to work in the yard. |

The Next Step for EcoCycle: A One-Stop
Drop for Hard-to-Recycle Items
by Mark Ruzzin
“Hi, can you tell me where I can recycle
my obsolete computer? How about an old stereo… hardbound books…
textiles… furniture… televisions… (insert your favorite
item here)?” EcoCycle gets 15 calls a day with questions like
these from recyclers who are trying to do the right thing with products
and materials that no longer serve a useful purpose. Help is on
the way as EcoCycle prepares to launch a major new project.
