Overview
The City organization views recycling as an important part of responsible stewardship of the environment.  Recycling is also compatible with the City's efforts to maintain low-cost sanitation services.  Reducing waste volume by recycling, composting, and waste avoidance helps to reduce sanitation disposal costs. 

Recycling Guide
In addition to the City's curbside recycling program, you can find area businesses and organizations that provide recycling services. These recycling services are listed in the City of Montrose Recycling Guide. 

Curbside Recycling
The City is proud to offer free curbside recycling services to residential sanitation customers. The service is provided on a fixed, alternating week schedule, based on the colors green and blue.

Recyclables must be prepared and separated in order to prevent contamination of the recycling stream. The City offers a curbside recycling calendar and instructions for more information on how to participate.

Interested residential sanitation customers must contact customer service to order recycling bins and add this service to their sanitation account.

Residential curbside recycling collection will occur on an alternating week schedule, based on the colors green and blue. Recycling collection will most likely be on a different day than trash collection for most customers. Recycling collection routes have been designed according to customer demand.
