The town of Vail is soliciting proposals and seeking to partner with a qualified waste hauler to collect and haul residential organic waste including food and yard waste for a pilot program to test the feasibility of adding an organic waste curbside collection program throughout Vail. Through this pilot program, Vail seeks to gather data and information on the viability of a town-wide curbside composting program and to evaluate the effect of such a program on the county-wide Climate Action Plan goal of reaching a 30% diversion rate by 2030. The pilot program will include a minimum of 25 households and up to 100 households within designated Vail neighborhoods. The selected respondent will work with the town starting winter of 2021 to consult on program details and community outreach, with collection services commencing no later than May 1. Curbside collection of organics waste will be conducted for a minimum of six months and up to one year, based on the selected respondent proposal and pricing structure.
