CTN INQUIRY FORM

  • INQUIRY FORM

    COLORADO CIRCULAR TRANSPORTATION NETWORK

  • The Colorado Circular Transportation Network (CTN) is a project led and supported by the Circular Economy Development Center (CEDC) to address recycling transportation challenges. The goal of this program is to collect recyclable materials that are at risk of going to landfill due to challenges faced by small-scale generators: small accumulations of materials, prohibitive transportation costs and/or lack of access to hauling services. 

    The CTN’s transportation partners collect recyclable materials from generators throughout the state using a backhaul model. Because routes depend on the availability of outgoing hauls, pick ups run at varying intervals and to select destinations. To find out if your location is along a backhaul route and is eligible to participate, fill out this form to set up an inquiry call with CEDC staff.
