Meet Kailee, our Office Manager! Kailee recently moved to Woodland Park from Colorado Springs to be closer to family and the community she now calls home. Her commitment to customer care and her friendly, solution-first approach have made her a true cornerstone of our local team. We’re grateful for Kailee’s leadership, positivity, and the way she embodies Apex’s community-driven spirit every day. Tune in as she shares what she loves most about her role — and why “local” means so much here in Teller County.

Apex Waste is proud to employ more than 35 Teller County locals — the same folks you see at the grocery store, at your kids’ school events, and around town. They live here, pay taxes here, and support the small businesses that keep our mountain community thriving. Many have called Teller County home for over a decade, serving their neighbors every single day.

Our team gave it their all in this month’s Safety Competition and kept things close right to the finish. Canon City snagged the win this round, but we’re proud of how hard our crew works every day to keep safety a priority here in Teller County. Our bragging rights may head south, but the real win is safer sites for our people and our community.

We brought together our managers from all our sites last week in Denver for two days of planning, reflection, and connection. From recapping the past year to preparing for the year ahead, it was a productive and energizing meeting. A HUGE thank you to Michael Hoffman, President & CEO of the NWRA, for joining us as our guest speaker and sharing his insights on the state of the industry with our team. Until next year!

“Bears love a free snack—but your trash shouldn’t be on the menu! 🐻🚫
High winds or unsecured lids can lead to spilled trash, which attracts wildlife. Always make sure your carts are closed and secured to keep both your neighborhood and our local wildlife safe.
