The City of Loveland provides solid waste collection and curbside recycling service to residents within the City limits. By City ordinance, refuse collection operates under a volume–based rate system. Mandatory monthly recycling fees fund the City’s Recycling Center, green waste composting, household hazardous waste collection, community Household Cleanup program, and solid waste planning programs. Over 50% of the community’s residential wastes are recycled annually, which extends the life of the Larimer County Landfill.
