Residential Trash and Recycling

The City and County of Broomfield does not provide trash collection service. Trash removal is contracted on an individual basis* with private solid waste companies. Nearly all of the trash haulers licensed to operate in Broomfield offer curbside recycling. Services, prices, and pickup days vary depending on the hauler you choose. 

*If you live within a homeowners' association-regulated area, contact your association or management company for more information on trash removal.
