Alpine Waste & Recycling executive joins National Recycling Coalition board

Brent Hildebrand, vice president of Recycling at Alpine Waste & Recycling, Commerce City, Colorado, has been elected to the board of directors of the National Recycling Coalition.

Hildebrand runs the Altogether Recycling plant in South Adams County that recently celebrated its complete retooling and capacity expansion. The plant originally opened in 2007, and the recent $5 million investment in new equipment from Machinex, Plessissville, Quebec, and other improvements increased the material capacity at the material recovery facility (MRF) by 100 percent.

In 2012, Hildebrand was named the president of the Colorado Association for Recycling. In 2009 he received the “Sustainability Champion” award from the Colorado Environmental Partnership and the Colorado Public Health and Environment for Alpine’s diverse efforts to promote recycling in Colorado.

“In my role on the NRC board, I hope to exchange innovative ideas that will help Alpine serve its recycling customers and help Colorado and the nation improve the overall waste diversion rate,” Hildebrand says.

He says he is eager to make the national connections that will allow him to explore a variety of recycling techniques, strategies and sciences. 

The National Recycling Coalition is a non-rofit organization with more than 6,000 members foocused on promoting and enhancing recycling in the U.S.

Alpine Waste & Recycling is the largest privately held commercial waste, recycling and compost collection company in Colorado.
