Aspen, CO considers new mandatory waste reduction policies

The Aspen City Council is considering waste reduction policies that would make composting mandatory, require developers to divert construction materials from the local landfill, and impose electrification requirements on new buildings. Aspen climate action officials argue that voluntary participation in waste reduction programs is not enough to achieve the city's ambitious goals to limit carbon emissions.
