Blowing Trash It’s that time of the year with high winds and blowing trash. To help your community stay clean, we are asking very strongly for residents to bag their trash. This helps keep down on all that blowing trash when it’s windy and even when it's not windy. This will help your cans stay clean as well as your streets. We thank you in advance.
Spring Cleanups You have a few options if you are cleaning out your garage, remodeling your basement or just sprucing up your house. If you are only doing small jobs, such as throwing away some furniture you can put those items to the curb on your regular pickup day. Please call our Customer Service center at (303) 287-8043 at least the day before you plan to put out the extra trash. Customer Service will be able to schedule it for the driver and explain any costs that may be associated with the pickup. If there is a charge you will to pre-pay for the being picked up.
Roll-Offs If you are doing a bigger job, such as remodeling a room in your house, or getting rid of a large tree in your yard, you might think about getting a roll-off. Roll-offs are large temporary dumpsters; you typically see them at construction sites. If you only need it for the weekend you can even split the cost with a neighbor by sharing the roll-off if you don’t have that much to put in it. If you are interested please call our roll-off department at (303) 286-1200 for price and/or availability.
Yard Waste If you are planning to put out limbs or branches please make sure any tree limbs are bundled, no longer than 4 feet in length. These bundles help the driver to pickup your trash and yard waste quickly, so he can move onto the next house. Only one item/bundle per week will be picked up. If you have any questions please call our Customer Service center at (303) 287-8043.
Keep the Community Clean Please try to help Allied Waste keep the neighborhood clean by bagging your trash, even in containers. It keeps the trash from blowing around when the driver is picking up and even when the cans are just sitting on your curb.
