The city only diverts 26% of our waste away from landfills. That may be better than our state\u2019s recycling rate of 15%<\/a>, but it\u2019s still bad when you consider approximately 75% of our waste could be composted (banana peels, apple cores, leaves, yard waste) or easily recycled (cardboard, aluminum, glass, etc).\r\n\r\nOne major reason - lack of convenient access. While there is a trash bin in every store, park, apartment and home that gets picked up, only homeowners and a few businesses in Denver have access to recycling or composting.\r\n\r\nWaste No More<\/a> will require that businesses and apartments provide recycling and composting services, filling the gaps in our current recycling system.\r\n\r\nThrowing things away that could be composted or recycled is not only wasteful but comes with a huge cost\r\n
