VAIL HONEYWAGON’S CURBSIDE RECYCLING PROGRAM

Vail Honeywagon’s recycling program is the result of our customers commitment and our commitment to the environment. By recycling, together we are doing our part to save natural resources, conserve landfill space, and save energy. Curbside recycling is the most convenient way for our customers to get involved in the process, so we encourage you to please do it and do it right!

When & Where ...Recycling pick-ups are made every other week on the same day as your trash collection. Be sure to have your recycling on the curb by 8a.m. Please take into account our rapid weather changes. Use common sense - place a heavy object on recycling that might get blown around. Our drivers will not clean up recycling that has been scattered by wind or animals! Cover newspaper on rainy days!

What & How ...Household recycling is easy. Just follow these instructions when you place the items in the Vail Honeywagon recycle bins.

Bin # 1: Newspaper & Office Paper Place loose newspaper, including inserts and office paper, in the bin. On windy or rainy days cover the paper. No phonebooks, magazines, junkmail, “cereal boxes”, cardboard, or day-glow paper.

Bin # 2: Co-mingled Glass, Plastics, and Aluminum

Glass -Please remove the lids and rinse the bottles and jars. All colors of glass are currently accepted. No ceramics, light bulbs, plate glass, or glassware.

Aluminum Cans -All aluminum or steel food cans. Please rinse and flatten.

Plastics -Please rinse and remove lids. Flatten large containers. Acceptable plastic containers are those with either one of the two symbols shown below stamped on the bottom. Generally their openings are smaller than the body of the container.

Plastic grocery bags should be recycled at your local grocery store. Sorry, plastic without one of the above symbols is not currently recyclable.

Please see above schedule for recycle and holiday schedule.

Holiday Scheduling

Vail Honeywagon observes 6 holidays each year:

If one of these holidays falls during the work week (on or before your regular day) your trash / recycle pick-up will be made one day later for the remainder of the holiday week. If a holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, your pick-up day does not change. For example, if Christmas is on Wednesday, Wednesday service will shift to Thursday. Thursday service shifts to Friday and Friday service shifts to Saturday. The following Monday regular service resumes.

The schedule for dumpster accounts will be treated on an individual basis.
