Code Compliance Corner
1. Sidewalks & Streets
Residents and businesses are responsible for keeping sidewalks and walkways next to their property clear of snow, ice, sleet, or hail by noon the day after a storm, as required by Title 12 of the Gypsum Municipal Code.
Please don’t push snow into streets—it creates safety hazards. Also, avoid parking on snow plow routes during storms so our crews can clear roads effectively.
Thanks for doing your part to keep Gypsum safe and accessible for everyone!
2. Trash Collection Reminders
To ensure safe and efficient trash service, please follow these guidelines:
-
Remove trash cans promptly after pickup to allow for snowplowing and street maintenance.
-
Trash can lids must close completely. Do not overfill or stack items on or around the can.
-
Do not block cans with vehicles, fences, fire hydrants, or other objects. Drivers cannot exit the truck to move cans.
-
Improper placement or interference with pickup may result in citations or additional fees.
-
On-street parking is prohibited on weekdays from 7 AM to 5 PM. Vehicles blocking trash pickup may be cited.
-
Report violations that interfere with trash service to the Eagle County Sheriff’s Office at 970-479-2201 while the issue is occurring.
