Planning for the Future: North Front Range Regional Wasteshed

The North Front Range Regional Wasteshed Planning process is a direct response to the approaching closure of the landfill in 2023 and the unavoidable change to our system of waste management it will bring. Representatives from Larimer County, the City of Loveland, City of Fort Collins, and the Town of Estes Park form the Solid Waste Policy Council or the "the coalition" that advises the Larimer County Board of County Commissioners and other parties on solid waste management and planning matters. They have been working diligently since 2015 with the shared goal of implementing an innovative, effective, community-driven system for waste management and waste diversion in the region upon the landfill’s closure.
