Avon Community Recycling Center ribbon cutting set for May 21

The Town of Avon recently issued the following press release on the upcoming ribbon cutting for its new recycling center:

The Town of Avon and Eagle County have partnered to make significant enhancements to the Avon Community Recycling Center, located at 375 Yoder Avenue, next to Home Depot. The updated facility includes new waste dumpsters, catwalks for safe access, a brand-new cardboard compactor, updated signage, and Colorado’s first municipal Polystyrene (commonly known as Styrofoam™) recycling program.  

The new Polystyrene recycling program is made possible by the efforts of the Town of Avon with funding for the equipment from the Colorado State’s RREO program. The Town “soft opened” the facility to the public on March 14, and now it’s time to celebrate these milestones with our community.
