As hosts of events in the Town of Vail, we are committed to the preservation and enhancement of the environment we and our guests enjoy.

Special events hosted in the Town of Vail are required to follow our Celebrate Green! guidelines which are outlined in the Celebrate Green! Resource Guide. This guide provides requirements, strategies, and resources for a Zero Waste Event in the Town of Vail. It shall serve as a tool to further reduce our waste and resource consumption to conserve energy and water, maximize landfill space, minimize ecosystem destruction, and help support our Eagle County community in meeting the goal of 30% waste diversion and 80% diversion of all organic material by 2030.

Zero Waste Requirements: 

The Town of Vail expects that each event will strive to divert as much material from the landfill as possible. If you have 1 or more food or beverage vendors and have received funding from the Town of Vail (Vail Town Council, Committee on Special Events, etc.) to host your event or your event will have 500 or more attendees with one or more food vendors, you will be required to participate in the Zero Hero Event Program.

ALL EVENTS must provide trash and recycling regardless of size.
