Waste Management of Colorado is keeping its composting operations running for another year at the Denver Arapahoe Disposal Site (DADS landfill).
The extension ensures that organic waste processing continues without interruption for residents and city services. While the facility handles large-scale waste, the operational timeline directly impacts how the city manages its diversion goals and landfill capacity.
City Council adopted the resolution (ENVHL-201524286) to push the agreement's end date to December 31, 2020. The facility is located in the 80211 zip code area. The resolution was filed on August 21, 2019, and passed following a review period that concluded at the October 7, 2019, Council meeting.
Residents can find more information or attend public meetings regarding this matter at Denver City Hall or via the city's legislation portal at https://denver.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=15360.
