NEW RESIDENTIAL
TRASH AND
RECYCLING
PROVIDER
Greenwood Village has provided trash
and recycling services to single-family
residences since 1996, and starting on
January 1, 2022, Waste Connections
will begin providing this service to
Greenwood Village single-family
residents. Residents will continue to
enjoy the same service levels that are
currently being provided, including
containers provided by Waste
Connections, every-other-week
recycling, and the ability to place an
unlimited number of additional bags
out beside the containers for
collection.
Waste Connections is an international
company operating in 45 states and
five provinces across the United States
and Canada. While the U.S.
headquarters is in Houston, Texas, all
Waste Connections’ locations operate
as a local company with local
management, customer service, and
dispatch. Waste Connections of
Colorado provides service to over
200,000 households and over 10,000
commercial customers in the Denver
metropolitan area, making Waste
Connections of Colorado one of the
largest providers of solid waste and
recycling removal in the area. Waste
Connections currently provides a
similar service to the City of Lone Tree
and is the preferred provider for
Highlands Ranch.
Waste Connections will be providing
all single-family residences with one
95-gallon trash container and one 95-
gallon recycling container, free of
charge. Residents may request one
additional 95-gallon recycling
container, free of charge, if one
container is not enough. Single-stream
recycling will continue to be collected
every-other-week. While residents are
encouraged to use the containers
provided by Waste Connections,
you may still use any personal
containers that you have previously
purchased. Republic Services will
collect all Republic-branded
containers at the end of the year.
More information, including details
on the delivery of new Waste
Connections containers and the
collection of old Republic containers,
will be provided in the coming
months. If you have any questions,
contact the Public Works
Department at
