Eagle County Solid Waste and Recycling

Eagle County Solid Waste and Recycling in Edwards is the local recycling center people use to drop off household recyclables and commonly recycled bulky items. Located at 815 Ute Creek Rd, it’s the county spot for getting rid of cardboard, bottles, cans and other typical recyclables that county centers accept. Neighbors swing by with everything from carloads of flattened boxes to a single bag of mixed containers.

Drive in and look for an entrance area with staff in a booth and rows of large roll-off containers - that’s how most county centers are laid out. Bins for paper, cardboard, metal and mixed containers tend to be grouped together, usually off to one side, with a few covered areas for specific drop-offs. The ground is mostly gravel and concrete, so expect dust or mud depending on the season, and there’s room to maneuver trucks and trailers. Lines pick up on weekend and spring-cleanup days, so wait times can vary.
