mplementing our new curbside trash, recycling, and compost program has encountered a temporary setback due to unforeseen delays in the delivery of containers. We want to assure our residents that the Town Staff and our valued partner, Vail Honeywagon, are actively addressing this situation. Efforts are underway to collaborate with suppliers and shippers to determine the revised timeline for container delivery. We understand the anticipation surrounding the launch of this vital initiative and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience these delays may cause. We will ensure that accurate and timely updates are provided as soon as we have confirmed the new delivery dates. Residents and stakeholders can expect to receive further information through our official communication channels, including our website, social media platforms, and direct notifications. Regular trash and recycling services will continue under the current schedule. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate through this challenge. The Eagle Town Council has approved an upgraded trash service to make waste management more manageable and sustainable for our community. This upgraded service will include: Your current 96-gallon container now becomes your Single-Stream Recycling container (all in 1 bin) - Biweekly Service
You will receive a New 64-gallon Bear-resistant Trash Container - Weekly Service
You will receive a New 32-gallon Curbside Organic Composting Bear-resistant container - Biweekly Service
The new monthly rate is $41.75
IMPORTANT INFORMATION! Delivery of your new 64-gallon bear-resistance trash container & re-labeling your 96-gallon container to single-stream recycling. Delivery will take place on your regular scheduled day. Exact delivery dates will be updated as soon as possible. All trash containers and recycle bins must be out on your day of service on these dates.
You will receive a new 64-gallon bear-resistant trash container to be delivered and labeled with your address.
Your existing 96-gallon container will be labeled single stream and with your address.
Removal of all 18-gallon recycle bins from each resident.
Failure to have them ready will result in a re-delivery fee of $50.00. For re-delivery, email jennifer@vailhoneywagon.com with the requested date.
New bear-resistant 32-gallon organic compost containers will be delivered. Suppose you wish to opt out of curbside composting. In that case, you MUST notify Vail Honeywagon before delivery (if the container is delivered and you later decide not to compost, a removal fee of $50.00 will be assessed). To opt out, please email jennifer@vailhoneywagon.com.
NOTE: Opting out of composting will not reduce your monthly fee.
Service will not be disrupted during the delivery period. The schedule will remain the same for trash and recycling. Compost will be the opposite week of recycling. SUSTAINABILITY
Increasing the opportunity for community members to recycle and compost their waste materials is a dramatic step toward reducing Eagle's carbon and progress towards the town's net zero 2030 goal. With this new service, the Town will be the leader in sustainable waste management options in the Western Slope. QUESTIONS
