All items must be placed curbside. Town staff will take materials to the landfill free of charge.

The Public Works Department will take almost anything. Exceptions include yard waste, tires and construction trash, hazardous and toxic waste such as paints, motor oil, batteries and electronics.  Residents may take their old electronic equipment, or components (e-waste) to the Eagle County Household Hazardous Waste Facility in Wolcott located by the landfill.  Refrigerators and freezers will not be collected, but individuals can take these items to the Eagle County Landfill for recycling as long as the Freon has been removed, documentation will be needed showing Freon has been removed.

A special thanks to Waste Management, who will be donating the dumpsters for use during Avon Clean Up Week.
