Guffey is a small community that is located in the heart of Colorado and its members are passionate about recycling and reuse, and being responsible humans on our planet. Unfortunately no waste company will bring recycling dumpsters to our community because we are so far out and the surrounding communities (25+ miles) will charge for dropping of recycling goods. 

We have found a recycling facility that does not charge for the drop off of materials (approximately 35 miles), and have some people willing to drive to that facility but we need a trailer for separated items for the recycling. We have found a trailer ($4250) that will allow residents to drop recycling materials at a single location 24/7, and will allow us to take these materials to the recycling facility. The trailer for sale is in another state on a for sale site from a truck company and there is major interest in it. We are putting a deposit on it to hold it for us, but they will only hold it for a few weeks and are offering to deliver the trailer to Denver CO (about 2 hrs away) for an additional $500. We would like to get the trailer by the end of September 2019.

We are wanting to create this program for our community, as well as wanting to get our local community charter school (40 students) involved in recycling since they are the future of this planet and we ALL need to do what we can to help it.
