Waste Management no longer offers recyclables pick-up in Rico. Ophir has a community recycling dumpster arrangement with Bruin Waste Management, which also provides trash service. Ophir's recycling program was funded by a Colorado Department of Local Affairs grant. Bruin has an arrangement with U.S. Forest Service to pick-up recyclables at Lizard Head Pass, but does not wish to expand service to Rico.

Bruin Waste Management owns and operates a single stream recycle sorting facility in Montrose, Colorado, according to its website.
