Grand Junction, Colorado is transitioning to a single-stream recycling system to modernize its services and prepare for a new Materials Recovery Facility, funded by a $9.82 million grant. This shift will affect around 3,800 dual-stream customers starting in March 2024 and will introduce weekly recycling collection.

The facility, located in a 58,000-square-foot building on 10 acres, is expected to open in late 2026, improving recycling efforts across the Western Slope. Multi-stream customers will transition by the end of 2027, with plans to expand services as the facility becomes operational.
