When the City of Denver switched from its cumbersome recycling program to a single-stream approach, the plan was to be an investment in the future and phased in over five years. Working with Waste Management, the results are so positive, the project reached full implementation three years early. After the overwhelming initial response, the city soon became inundated with calls from residents wanting to participate in the new, easier program. The Mayor and the Manager of Public Works sped up funding. Within the first two years, the amount of recyclables increased 61%. It's a true civic success.
