view pickup schedules for trash, recycling and large items online at
www.denvergov.org/recycle. In addition, e-mail reminders can be set up to
arrive automatically the day before
each scheduled pickup.
Residents are provided trash collection
services by dumpster service, manual
collection and automated barrel collection. Dumpsters are provided in neighborhoods with alleyways.
In manual collection areas, crews
physically pick up trash containers
from the alley or curb and empty them
into a truck. With automated barrel
collection, the city issues residents
100-gallon trash barrels, and crews
empty these barrels in specially
equipped trucks. Trash containers must
be stored out of public view until collection day.
Residents outside of the city and county
of Denver must contract for trash collection service, and those services vary,
depending on location.
Check the Yellow Pages for a listing of
waste removal contractors. In some
cases, a waste removal contractor may
already be set up for your area.
Contact your city for information about
trash collection and recycling services.
