In 2016, the readers of ColoradoBiz magazine voted Alpine as the "Best of Colorado" for waste services and the Colorado Association for Recycling honored Alpine for offering Colorado's "Best Business Recycling/Diversion Program". Growing for over 17 years at a compound annual revenue growth rate in excess of 30%, Alpine handles more than 400,000 tons of waste and recyclable materials per year. Alpine's Altogether Recycling(R) single-stream recycling plant processes more than 180,000 tons of recyclable solid waste each year . Alpine was the first company in its industry in Colorado to run clean-burning compressed natural gas powered waste trucks and now nearly all of its more than 115 waste collection truck fleet is powered either by CNG or next-generation low-emitting diesel engines.
