Next On Tap: Monday, September 9, 2019
Recycling in the Pikes Peak Region

Alicia will talk about how recycling is collected, communicated, and processed. We will go in depth on what is acceptable in the recycle bin, what happens to single-stream recyclables after they are picked up from the curb, what special wastes are banned from the landfills and what local resources are available to handle those wastes. In addition, we will discuss the market conditions for recyclables and the commodities they represent.

Alicia Archibald owner at A2 Solutions, is a consultant who works in various capacities addressing landfill diversion strategies. Alicia works with an electronics recycling company in Colorado Springs, E-Tech Recyclers, as well as consulting on projects throughout the state that focus on community waste diversion programs.  Alicia previously worked at Bestway Disposal for 7 years in a variety of roles - safety, recycling, and trash.
