National trade association sues Colorado in attempt to block state’s free curbside recycling plan

A national trade association sued Colorado over its free curbside recycling plan, arguing over its management and funding. The lawsuit, filed by the New Civil Liberties Alliance on behalf of the National Association of Wholesaler-Distributors, seeks to block the program until litigation concludes. The plan, funded by fees on packaging companies, aims to provide free recycling to over 700,000 homes and businesses by 2035.
