Snack & Shares

Join us during your lunch hour to network, learn, and have fun with the Recycle Colorado membership! 

Each month we will host a spotlight presentation which will allow you to learn about the various industries and recyclers across Colorado. We will be celebrating achievements and milestones within everyone organization, sharing what's in store for Recycle Colorado, and creating a space to share challenges and brainstorm solutions. All members and nonmembers are welcome to join. 

Generally, each Snack & Share follows a similar structure with exceptions dependent upon the topic of the meeting. The first 30 minutes (11:30am-12:00pm) consist of introductions, a fun icebreaker, and discussion around any celebrations and challenges within each of our organizations. Next, we head into our Presentation (12:00pm-12:30pm) where we learn about various new innovations and solutions in our industry. See the list of presenters below. Finally we move to the final portion of the meeting where we have a Q&A session for our presenter and updates from Recycle Colorado.

If you are interested in presenting during any of the available dates below, please send us an email.
