Recycling stations allow pedestrians to drop empty bottles, cans and clean paper products while they are walking, shopping, sightseeing or otherwise strolling along our sidewalks. Stations cannot accept bulk recyclables and should not be used as bulk drop-off sites. Bulk items left outside the bins may be considered an act of littering or dumping. Contact the City Manager s Office at (719) 553-2655 with questions. 9
