Residential Waste Services in Broomfield
The Residential Waste Services program will increase recycling and diversion of waste away from landfills, while providing efficient services and good value for customers. The City and County of Broomfield has contracted with Waste Connections of Colorado for curbside collection of trash and recycling for the following: residents in single-family homes or small multi-unit buildings (7 or fewer units) that are not part of an HOA with a waste and recycling contract, residents who don’t live in a HOA, or residents who live in HOAs without a contracted waste and recycling hauler.
To start new service, change cart size, opt out of the program or change billing information, please use the button below.
If you encounter questions while submitting your information, please contact the Sustainability team at 720-887-2278 or via email at sustainability@broomfield.org.
Trash and Recycling Carts
- Trash cart rates are based on the size of the trash cart you choose to best meet your household’s needs. The smaller the trash cart the lower the cost; so the more you recycle and the less you waste, the more you save.
- A 95-gallon recycle cart is included with all sizes of trash cart. Additional recycling carts are $4.00/month.
- Trash carts can be downsized for free any time and requests to increase trash cart size will be subject to a $25 change fee.
- If you did not select a trash cart size or confirm with Waste Connections that you plan to opt out of the program by Dec. 21, 2024, you were automatically enrolled into the program and received a 65-gallon trash cart size (unless you live in an HOA that contracts for trash and recycling services).
