Garbage Gurus & the Art Trucks in Summit County, Colorado

Summit County Wonks: 

Click on the links below to read the new rules for properties within the town limits of Breckenridge:

 

Ordinance No. 24, Series 2022 - Solid waste hauler regulations

Administrative Rules & Regulations of the Department of Public Works

​

... and within the town limits of Frisco:

​

Town of Frisco County of Summit State of Colorado Ordinance 22-04

​

For everyone else: 

Think of your trash capacity/ usage as a utility expense.  The more you use, the more you pay.  Your trash cart size (32, 64 or 96 gallon) will proportionally determine what you pay.  The cost of servicing a 32-gallon cart is the base rate.  Rates offered by haulers to service a 64-gallon cart must be at least 80% more expensive than servicing a 32.  Rates offered by haulers to service a 96-gallon cart must be at least 160% more expensive than servicing a 32. 

​

THREE STRIKES New regulations do not allow you to overfill your cart with bulging trash.  Your trash cart lid must close fully when placed at the curb.  If you choose a smaller cart size and overfill your cart three times, then by law your hauler must increase your cart size to the next size up and you must pay the higher costs for ongoing service. 

​

Recycling must be included with any trash service for one rate in Frisco as of April 1, 2023 and as of October 1, 2023 in Breckenridge.  One exception exists; trash-only service is available only for customers with On-Call service (no more than 1 trash pick up per month)
