16th Street Mall Recycling is a “single-stream” recycling program; acceptable materials are collected in the same container. The BID is responsible for servicing the containers and consolidating the materials, and the City of Denver’s Solid Waste Management Division will collect the consolidated recyclables.
Ten clearly marked, bright yellow receptacles are placed along the 16th Street Mall between Cleveland and Larimer Street.
