Recognized by the Association for Corporate Growth in 2012 as its Colorado Emerging Growth Company of the Year and in 2010 as a Colorado Company to Watch by ColoradoBiz Magazine, Alpine Waste & Recycling is the largest independent non-hazardous waste and recycling services company in Colorado and operates its own solid waste landfill, waste transfer station, single-stream recycling plant, and compost processing facility.
In 2016, the readers of ColoradoBiz magazine voted Alpine as the "Best of Colorado" for waste services and the Colorado Association for Recycling honored Alpine for offering Colorado's "Best Business Recycling/Diversion Program".
Growing for over 17 years at a compound annual revenue growth rate in excess of 30%, Alpine handles more than 400,000 tons of waste and recyclable materials per year. Alpine's Altogether Recycling(R) single-stream recycling plant processes more than 180,000 tons of recyclable solid waste each year . Alpine was the first company in its industry in Colorado to run clean-burning compressed natural gas powered waste trucks and now nearly all of its more than 115 waste collection truck fleet is powered either by CNG or next-generation low-emitting diesel engines.
