Dear Westminster Citizen:

Thanks to your efforts during the last year, the City of Westminster has recycled approximately 28% of its solid waste stream.  During FY 2004 - 05, recycling resulted in a savings of approximately $114,000 in landfill tipping fees.  The majority of this savings was a direct result of recycling by individual residents.  For this reason, I encourage you to continue your recycling efforts or to begin recycling if you have not in the past.

Solid Waste and Recycling Collection – Ecology Services, Inc. (1-800-932-7299)

Beginning July 1, 2008, solid waste and recycling services are provided by Ecology Services, Inc. ("Ecology"). Ecology will follow the same collection schedule as our previous hauler, BFI/Allied Waste. There are no changes to the policies regarding placement of trash cans, types of containers, or items collected- just a different company providing the same service. For questions regarding solid waste recyclables collection, contact Ecology using the number above.
