The Town of Vail is researching the feasibility of a single hauler system for the town's residential waste collection to help meet several of its goals, including:
Improving public health and safety as well as the resident and guest experience by reducing truck traffic
Realizing cost efficiencies for the entire community
Increasing recycling and composting rates
In late 2024, the Town of Vail issued an RFP in order to gather information and help provide context for a decision regarding the municipalization of solid waste. The town received three proposals from waste haulers to provide trash, recycling, and composting services in town for single-family units and multi-family properties with 7 units or less. Each hauler provided a competitive and comprehensive proposal with a range of services including a high level of customer service, options for curbside composting, advanced truck technology, partnerships in community events and more. Notably, the price range offered by the haulers in their proposals would result in savings for residents on their monthly waste hauling service price between 67% and 77% over the rate for their current service today.
As part of the legal procedure to municipalize solid waste, a mandatory 6-month notification process must take place. Before a decision is made to kick off that process, the Town of Vail is solicited public input on the potential single hauler program via a community listening session and survey.
