The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment is pleased to share that Colorado's annual waste diversion data for 2025 is now complete. In total, Colorado diverted 16.7% of its municipal solid waste in 2025, which is an increase of 1% from the prior year.

The noteworthy trends in this year's data include a significant increase in year-over-year composting, steady and consistent recycling numbers, and a decrease in waste being landfilled for the fourth year in a row.

This data, along with all of Colorado's waste diversion data going back to 2018, can be accessed at the Department's website.
