Waste Diversion

Curbside Compost

The Town provides curbside trash, recycling, and compost services to all Town of Eagle residents (single-family houses and multi-family complexes of eight units or less). We contract this service to Vail Honeywagon. 

What Can Be Composted?

Here's what you can compost in your curbside bin in Eagle:

• All food scraps - ensure any stickers and/or packaging is removed.
• Paper products, even if dirty or wet - greasy pizza boxes, napkins, and paper towels
• Certified compostable products like to-go containers & compostable bags (make sure they include the BPI certified label or ASTM D6400 label)
• Cut flowers & dead houseplants
• Coffee grounds

Not sure if your item is compostable? 

If you can't easily find the answer, it's best to leave it out and put it in the trash instead. When compost gets contaminated with non-compostable items, those items are extremely difficult to sort out. Enough contamination can ruin an entire truckload of curbside compost and result in that load ending up in the landfill. When in doubt, throw it out (in the trash)!

Single Stream Recycling

The Town offers curbside single-stream recycling to residents. This means your recyclable items can all go together into your curbside recycling bin. 

What Can Be Recycled?

Here's what you can place in curbside recycling bin in Eagle:

• Glass bottles & jars
• Plastic bottles, tubs & jugs
• Tin and aluminum cans
• Paperboard - cereal boxes, etc. (NO frozen food boxes)
• Paper
• Cardboard - TIP: if the cardboard has no tape or staples and if it's dirty, you can place it in the compost instead. This will help absorb excess moisture and reduce odors.
• Junk mail & magazines
