What is the difference between the Four Corners Recycling Initiative and the City of Cortez recycling?
The Initiative focuses on diverting large quantities of recyclable commodities from the Montezuma County landfill by locating recycling containers at sites where these commodities are produced; such as governmental institutions, private businesses, and public schools. Additionally, the Initiative offers recycling of mixed paper, which is not offered by the city of Cortez, and also includes recycling of steel cans, not offered by the city, as well as aluminum cans in our mixed metal recycling. Additionally, these drop-off locations will located around the county in order to make it easier for residents to recycle who live in other parts of Montezuma County.
