Wildfire Mitigation Rebate Program 

Boulder County has a new rebate program encouraging residents to actively take steps to protect their homes and communities from wildfire.

The rebate program is open to all residents who are actively improving home hardening and defensible space on their properties to reduce the potential for wildfire to spread.

This program provides a rebate of up to $500 to county residents, including those who live in the Town of Lyons, who apply and complete wildfire mitigation actions. Learn more.

Glass Recycling Pilot Program

Beginning in early August 

Boulder County and the Town of Lyons are piloting a glass collection ONLY bin beginning in August at the recycling center. The bin is specific for glass bottles and jars only and will go directly to Glass to Glass, a recycling facility in Broomfield to be recycles and create a new bottle for use. The program is new for Lyons and is a pilot program, one of just two within the State of Colorado.  Look for the big blue box in early August. We expect the bin to be at the drop off center for one year to determine whether or not to keep the program.
