Science guides our climate goals. The community shapes our approach. Come with us on our journey to make Denver a safe, healthy, resilient, and sustainable city.
Disposable Bag Fee for Businesses Businesses in Colorado can no longer give out single-use plastic bags. We provide support to help businesses switch to reusable options and explain the rules and possible penalties.
