remember your reusable water bottle – plastic-free event!
Avon is committed to fostering a culture of environmental stewardship through waste reduction, energy conservation, and sustainable event practices. In 2025, Avon-produced events diverted 87% of event waste from the landfill, totaling over 5,000 pounds, thanks to the collective efforts of our vendors, staff, and zero waste partners.
Eagle County has a waste diversion goal of 40% waste diversion and 80% organics diversion by 2030. As part of these efforts, the Town’s Recycling Ordinance, effective November 1, 2023, requires all residents, businesses, and visitors to recycle.
