GOVERNMENT
MANAGING YOUR
COVID-19 EXPOSURE,
WHEN TO ISOLATE
AND QUARANTINE
With more than 70% of eligible
Coloradans fully vaccinated again
COVID-19, it can be tricky knowing
what to do if you have had a COVID-
19 exposure. In general, people who
are fully vaccinated do not need to
quarantine after close contact (within
6 feet of someone for a cumulative
total of 15 minutes or more over a
24-hour period) with someone who
had COVID-19 unless they have
symptoms.
Anyone who has had close contact
with someone with COVID-19 should
quarantine for 14 days after their last
exposure to that person, except if they
meet the following conditions:
Someone who has been fully
vaccinated and shows no symptoms of
COVID-19 does not need to
quarantine. However, fully vaccinated
close contacts should:
• Get tested 3-5 days after close
contact with someone with
suspected or confirmed
COVID-19.
• Wear a mask indoors in public for
14 days following exposure or until
a negative test result.
• Get tested and isolate immediately
if experiencing COVID-19
symptoms.
Someone who tested positive for
COVID-19 with a test within the
previous 90 days and has subsequently
recovered and remains without
COVID-19 symptoms does not need
to quarantine. However, close contacts
with prior COVID-19 infection in the
previous 90 days should:
• Wear a mask indoors in public for
14 days after exposure.
• Monitor for COVID-19 symptoms
and isolate immediately if
symptoms develop.
• Consult with a healthcare provider
or your local clinic for testing
recommendations if new symptoms
develop. GV
ELIGIBLE GV SINGLE-FAMILY
RESIDENCES
COUNTDOWN TO CHANGE
IN TRASH PROVIDER
Waste Connections
will begin providing
trash and recycling
service to eligible
Greenwood Village
single-family residences
on January 1, 2022. To
prepare for this new service, here are some information that
will help your household with the transition:
NEW WEBSITE
Waste Connections has created a website for Greenwood
Village residents to use as a one-stop-shop for regular
trash and recycling service-related issues, including the
weekly pick-up and recycling schedule, holiday
schedules, requests for new or replacement containers,
and contact information for missed collections or other
issues. Visit https://www.wasteconnections.com/
denver/greenwood-village/.
CONTAINERS
If you currently receive trash and recycling service
through Republic Services, Republic will be collecting
all Republic-branded containers; timeline has not been
finalized at this time and residents will be notified in
the months ahead to assure a smooth transition.
As a new customer of Waste Connections, you will be
receiving new containers, including one 96-gallon trash
container and one 96-gallon recycling container, from
Waste Connections at the end of this year. Residents may
continue placing an unlimited amount of waste out for
collection, which can be in Waste Connections-provided
containers, personally owned containers, or in bags. If the
containers provided by Waste Connections are not enough
for your needs, you may request additional containers
through Waste Connections; residents may obtain one extra
recycling container at no charge, but additional containers
may incur additional costs that will be paid by the resident
directly to Waste Connections. These requests can be made
through the new website, or by contacting Waste
Connections directly at 303-288-2100.
QUESTIONS
If you have any questions about your residential trash service
in Greenwood Village, please call the Public Works
Department at 303-708-6100 or email webpublicworks@
