Loveland has a free yard waste drop-off site for residents, how come Fort Collins doesn ?
Trash and recycling service in Loveland is a municipal service. Because the Loveland Sanitation Department is a utility, revenue is generated from the fees charged to all Loveland residents. The City of Loveland contracts with A-1 Organics to compost the materials generated at the drop-off site. Fort Collins does not have municipal trash service; it’s provided by the private sector. There is a privately owned composting business in Fort Collins, Hageman EarthCycle, located at 3501 East Prospect. Though they do charge a fee based on vehicle sizes, the cost is lower than the tipping fee charged at the Larimer County Landfill.
