SCB Is Closing Permanently — We Will No Longer Be in Operation

Since our founding, we’ve accomplished more than we ever dreamed possible—together. In 2015, Crested Butte became a leader in waste reduction when the community rallied behind the ‘Plastic Bag Free CB’ campaign. Your voices and advocacy led to a successful plastic bag ban, inspiring similar initiatives throughout the region and making a significant impact on single-use plastic reduction. Our Waste-Free Events program set new standards for sustainable celebrations. By partnering with event organizers, volunteers, and attendees, we minimized waste and expanded composting and recycling across countless gatherings in town. The installation of water bottle filling stations further empowered residents and visitors to choose reusable options, helping to reduce plastic waste and reinforce our shared commitment to sustainability.
