Although there is no requirement identified in the governing documents for VPOA to provide trash service, the current board concluded at the 2025 annual meeting that this service will continue given the multiple benefits to the community overall. Some of the benefits are; 1) Financial benefit over individual contracts, 2) Limits the number of days that trash cans are out in the street, and 3) Limits traffic flow, however, this is affected by the non-VPOA western half of the street, where residents utilize multiple trash service providers. VPOA currently has contracted with American Sanitation. This service includes one large trash can and two bags for yard waste. If you prefer American Sanitation will deliver a second tote for a fee. Trash service occurs Monday at 7:00 a.m.
Take note! Given our location west of I-25, bears are a necessary consideration. Please consult the Colorado Springs Bear Management and Resistant Trash Can Ordinance for familiarity.
Recycling service is at owner expense, however, American Sanitation is signed up with the Colorado State free recycling program. If interested contact American Sanitation or the HOA board at ValleyParkOwnersAssociation@gmail.com.
