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

We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who donated time, materials, ideas, and energy to the e-waste program over the years. Your engagement helped keep countless electronics (120,000+ lbs) out of the landfill and advanced our collective commitment to a sustainable Gunnison Valley.

Thank You for Years of Community Partnership and Progress Toward a Waste-Free Gunnison Valley

After years of working together for a greener future, Sustainable Crested Butte is announcing that we will officially close our operations effective December 31, 2025. This decision comes with heartfelt gratitude for your steadfast support, dedication, and the powerful movement for environmental stewardship you have built in our community.

Sustaining Recycling for the Future

Since 2021, your participation in our quarterly electronic recycling events has helped divert approximately 120,000 pounds of electronics from landfills and served nearly 1,500 community members. This collective effort has made a meaningful, positive impact on the Gunnison Valley environment. Thanks to your generosity, Sustainable Crested Butte will donate approximately $40,000 in cash and assets to Gunnison County. These resources will guarantee that the quarterly electronic recycling program continues indefinitely, ensuring all residents have access to responsible recycling options and helping preserve our natural resources for generations to come.

Looking Ahead

Our foundation in policy and advocacy will continue to inspire future sustainability initiatives in Crested Butte and beyond. We encourage everyone to remain engaged—your passion and involvement have shaped local policies, launched new programs, and will drive lasting change for years to come. We are committed to supporting this transition and ensuring the continued success of electronic recycling and all recycling efforts within our community. Thank you for all you have done to support our mission and for making Crested Butte a shining example of community-driven sustainability. The legacy we’ve built together is enduring, and we look forward to watching our town continue to thrive as a beacon of environmental stewardship.
