• The City of Evans does not run its own trash collection but does hold the contract, unlike most of its Weld County neighbors: 'The City of Evans and Waste Management aim to provide their residents and customers with premium trash and recycling service. The city does not provide trash and recycling services directly, but negotiates a contract with Waste Management to keep your monthly bill low.' Trash service is billed to the resident by the City and new accounts are set up through the City, not the hauler: 'If you are a new resident to the city and need to setup trash service, please contact the City of Evans Customer Service Unit at (970) 475-1170.' The page describes the weekly cart service and recycling rules only. No bulky-item, large-item or special pickup program is described anywhere on the page, no allowance is published, and no bulky or mattress fee is listed. The city's stated large-item answer is instead its twice-yearly Community Cleanup Event (see co-f-evans-002). Customer Service is (970) 475-1170, info@evanscolorado.gov.
