Couch & furniture removal in Applewood

City collection Applewood has no municipal bulky collection, so a couch goes either on a private hauler's bulky service or in a household load taken to the Foothills Landfill, which accepts furniture as municipal solid waste. The county publishes no household bulky pickup, so the price comes from whichever private hauler the household uses. A load taken to the landfill is charged by the vehicle: $44 for a car with a $68 minimum including fees, $60 for a passenger van, SUV or station wagon, or $105 and up for a van or pick-up filled above the cab. Confirm both options before the piece is set out.

Bags & household clutter in Applewood

City collection Applewood has no municipal bulky program. Households either hire a private hauler for a bulky item or load a vehicle and take the material to the Foothills Landfill, which charges by the vehicle or by the ton. The public route is the landfill and the private route is a hauler, so the cost depends on the choice: a car load is $44 with a $68 minimum including fees, a passenger van or SUV is $60, a van or pick-up filled above the cab starts at $105, and demolition or loose waste on a commercial vehicle is $55 per ton with a three ton minimum. The mattress, appliance, shingle and other per item fees are added to the load.

The local disposal guide

Will the city
take it?

Applewood is an unincorporated community in Jefferson County, so there is no city collection department to call. Households arrange curbside trash, recycling and compost with a private hauler, which is exactly what the Applewood community association's waste page describes while it works on a consolidated program, and the public routes for everything a hauler will not take belong to the county. Two facilities matter. The Republic-operated Foothills Landfill at 8900 Highway 93 in Golden takes household loads, clean-up debris, construction material, mattresses, appliances and non-friable asbestos, prices a car load flat, adds a published fee for each mattress and appliance, doubles the price of an uncovered load, and refuses liquids, paint, tires, chemicals, batteries, electronic waste and hazardous material. Household hazardous waste goes instead to the Rooney Road Recycling Center at 151 South Rooney Road in Golden, which takes paint, cleaners, pesticides, motor oil, antifreeze, electronics and batteries by appointment on Wednesdays and Saturdays, with a co-pay for Jefferson County residents, free paint, motor oil and automotive batteries, and per pound pricing for electronics.

Couches, sofas and furniture

Special rules apply

Applewood has no municipal bulky collection, so a couch goes either on a private hauler's bulky service or in a household load taken to the Foothills Landfill, which accepts furniture as municipal solid waste.

City cost & eligibility
The county publishes no household bulky pickup, so the price comes from whichever private hauler the household uses. A load taken to the landfill is charged by the vehicle: $44 for a car with a $68 minimum including fees, $60 for a passenger van, SUV or station wagon, or $105 and up for a van or pick-up filled above the cab. Confirm both options before the piece is set out.
When & how
Ask the hauler for its bulky item terms, or take the load to the Foothills Landfill at 8900 Highway 93 in Golden, open Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m., with hand unloading stopping 30 minutes before closing.
Get it ready
Cover the load before arriving, because an uncovered load is charged twice the price of the load, and wear a safety vest and hat if you leave the vehicle to unload, because they are required and can be bought at the scale house. Paint, liquids, chemicals, batteries, tires and electronic waste do not go in a landfill load.

Mattresses and box springs

Accepted with preparation

A mattress is accepted at the Foothills Landfill with its own published fee on top of the load price, or it can go on a private hauler's bulky service, since Jefferson County runs no mattress collection program of its own.

City cost & eligibility
$55 for for each mattress or box spring taken to the Foothills Landfill, charged on top of the price of the load it arrives in. Any household load delivered to the landfill under the 2026 gate pricing sheet; the fee is additional to the vehicle or tonnage charge for the rest of the load, so a mattress in a car load also carries the car rate.
When & how
Take the mattress with a household load to the Foothills Landfill at 8900 Highway 93 in Golden, open Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m., or ask a private hauler for a bulky item pickup.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and tell the scale house it is in the load so the per item fee is applied correctly. Cover the load on the way, because uncovered loads are charged twice the load price.

Appliances and white goods

Accepted with preparation

Appliances are accepted at the Foothills Landfill at a published per item fee, with a higher fee when the unit still holds refrigerant, and a private hauler's bulky service is the other route.

City cost & eligibility
The gate sheet prices an appliance without Freon at $55 each and an appliance with Freon at $77 each, charged on top of the load price, and it notes that those recycling fees sit outside the fuel and environmental recovery fees. Confirm which rate applies to the unit before it is loaded.
When & how
Take the appliance to the Foothills Landfill at 8900 Highway 93 in Golden during open hours, or arrange a bulky item pickup with a private hauler.
Get it ready
Say at the scale house whether the unit holds refrigerant so the correct fee is applied, and empty it first. A refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner never goes into a curbside cart, and the county's hazardous waste center takes paint, chemicals and electronics rather than white goods.

Televisions and electronics

Special rules apply

Electronic waste is refused at the landfill, so a television or computer goes to the Rooney Road Recycling Center, which takes electronics and batteries from Jefferson County residents by appointment.

City cost & eligibility
From $1.91 per pound for electronic waste at the Rooney Road Recycling Center, with televisions priced at the same per pound rate up to $203.35 per television. Jefferson County residents, who pay a $30 co-pay for up to 75 pounds of other household hazardous waste on the same visit; the center is open by appointment only and online booking is for residential customers.
When & how

Get it ready
Wipe personal data from a computer before it leaves the house. Keep electronics, batteries, fluorescent bulbs and anything with a cord out of the landfill load, because the landfill refuses each of them, and note that televisions are priced per pound with a per unit maximum.

Construction and demolition debris

Accepted with preparation

Renovation debris goes to the Foothills Landfill, which takes municipal solid waste, commercial waste and non-hazardous industrial material including non-friable asbestos, with shingles priced by the yard.

City cost & eligibility
From $55 per ton for compacted, demolition and loose waste on a commercial vehicle with a three ton minimum, while a car load is $44 with a $68 minimum, a trailer or an over-length pick-up is $38.50 per yard with a five yard minimum and shingles are $40 per yard. Household and commercial loads delivered to the Foothills Landfill under the 2026 gate pricing sheet, with the fuel recovery fee of 8 to 15 percent of the load, the $19.71 environmental recovery fee and the solid waste user fee added to the total, and uncovered loads charged twice.
When & how
Deliver the load to the Foothills Landfill at 8900 Highway 93 in Golden, open Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m., and call the scale house at (720) 590-4040 if the rate for the material is unclear.
Get it ready
Cover the load, which must be secured before arrival because uncovered loads are charged twice the load price, and separate shingles, which are priced by the yard. Friable asbestos is refused, liquids need the landfill's paperwork, and the county's hazardous waste center takes paint, chemicals and batteries.

Exercise equipment

Special rules apply

Exercise equipment is not named in the landfill's accepted or refused lists or in the county's hazardous waste material, so a treadmill or weight machine has to be confirmed before it is moved.

City cost & eligibility
A machine delivered with a household load would be charged at the vehicle rate for that load, and a private hauler would quote its own price for a bulky item, so confirm the route and the price before the machine leaves the house.
When & how
Ask the private hauler whether it takes the machine as a bulky item, or confirm with the landfill scale house at (720) 590-4040 how the load would be rated.
Get it ready
Describe the machine and its size when you ask, and take the console or any battery pack off so the electronics go to the Rooney Road Recycling Center instead of riding to the landfill, where electronics and batteries are refused.

Bulky items and household clutter

Special rules apply

Applewood has no municipal bulky program. Households either hire a private hauler for a bulky item or load a vehicle and take the material to the Foothills Landfill, which charges by the vehicle or by the ton.

When & how
Either book the bulky item with a private hauler serving Applewood or deliver the load to the Foothills Landfill at 8900 Highway 93 in Golden, open Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Get it ready

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Applewood households choose their own hauler

Applewood is an unincorporated Jefferson County community, so there is no city collection department and no municipal bulky pickup. Households arrange curbside service with a private hauler, which is what the community association's waste page describes while it works on a consolidated program for the neighbourhood. Everything a hauler will not take has a county route instead: household hazardous waste and electronics to the Rooney Road Recycling Center by appointment, and household loads, renovation debris, mattresses and appliances to the Foothills Landfill in Golden.

A landfill load has to be covered and unloaded safely

Every load must be covered before arrival, because an uncovered load is charged twice the price of the load, and anyone who leaves the vehicle to unload has to wear a safety vest and hat, which can be bought at the scale house. Minors are not allowed out of vehicles and smoking is not allowed in the disposal areas. Hand unloading stops 30 minutes before the site closes, at 4:30 p.m. on weekdays and 12:30 p.m. on Saturday.

Hazardous material and electronics go to Rooney Road

The landfill refuses liquids, paint, tires, chemicals, batteries, friable asbestos and electronic waste, so those items go to the Rooney Road Recycling Center at 151 South Rooney Road in Golden, which takes paint, cleaners, pesticides, motor oil, antifreeze, electronics and batteries from Jefferson County residents. It runs by appointment on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., residents pay a co-pay for up to 75 pounds of hazardous material with a per pound rate above that, electronics are priced by the pound with a per unit maximum for televisions, and paint, motor oil and automotive batteries are accepted free.

Arrange curbside service or a bulky pickup with a private hauler

An Applewood household that wants weekly carts or wants a bulky item collected at the curb instead of hauling it.

Cost & conditions
There is no municipal contract in Applewood, so each hauler sets its own price for carts and for a bulky item, and the community association's page describes residents choosing among the haulers serving the area. Confirm the rate, the cart sizes and the bulky item terms with the company before signing up.
Arrange it
Compare the haulers serving the area, or ask a hauler listed by the community association whether it collects bulky items at the curb, then set the items out on the agreed day.

Bulky item terms differ between haulers, and anything hazardous, electronic or banned from a landfill still has to go to the county center regardless of which hauler collects the carts.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Self-hauling in Applewood means loading a vehicle and driving to one of two county facilities in Golden. The Foothills Landfill at 8900 Highway 93 takes household loads, clean-up debris, renovation material, mattresses, box springs and appliances: a car load is charged a flat rate with a minimum including fees, a passenger van, SUV or station wagon costs more, a van or pick-up filled above the cab costs more again, trailers and longer pick-ups are charged by the yard, commercial vehicles by the ton, and a mattress or appliance carries its own fee on top of the load. Every load has to be covered before arrival because an uncovered load is charged twice, and anyone unloading by hand needs a safety vest and hat. What the landfill will not take is the reason for the second trip: liquids, paint, tires, chemicals, batteries, electronic waste, friable asbestos and hazardous material are refused, and those items go to the Rooney Road Recycling Center at 151 South Rooney Road, which takes paint, cleaners, pesticides, motor oil, antifreeze, electronics and batteries from Jefferson County residents by appointment on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. There the resident pays a co-pay for up to 75 pounds of hazardous material with a per pound rate above that, electronics are priced by the pound with a per unit maximum for televisions, and paint, motor oil and automotive batteries are free.

Before you book

Your questions.
Straight answers.

Prices, timing and the details that matter at your address.

How much does pickup cost?

Choose your items to see the exact price. A standard sofa is $79 first and $29 additional. The highest first-item price applies once; every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Review any applicable sales tax and the final total before payment.

Can I book a pickup for today?

Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, where available. Choose from the dates shown at checkout. Your booking is for a pickup day, and we text you when your hauler is on the way.

Do my items need to be outside when I book?

You can book while your items are still inside. Arrange any indoor carrying and have everything outside and accessible according to your confirmation. We load and haul it away from there. Contact us before booking if your property has restricted access.

How is a couch collected in Applewood?

Applewood has no city collection program, so a couch either goes on a private hauler's bulky item service or in a household load taken to the Foothills Landfill in Golden, which accepts municipal solid waste. The landfill charges by vehicle, and an uncovered load is charged twice the load price, so cover it and wear a safety vest and hat if you unload by hand.Official guidance

Where does a mattress go in Applewood?

To the Foothills Landfill in Golden, where the 2026 gate pricing sheet lists a mattress or box spring fee on top of the price of the load it arrives in, or on a private hauler's bulky item service arranged by the household. Jefferson County runs no curbside mattress program of its own, and the county's hazardous waste center is not a mattress route.Official guidance

Can a refrigerator be taken to the Foothills Landfill?

Yes. The 2026 gate pricing sheet lists appliances with and without Freon as recyclable items with their own per item fees on top of the load price, so a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner can be delivered there. Tell the scale house that the unit holds refrigerant so the higher fee is applied correctly.Official guidance

Where do televisions and computers go in Applewood?

To the Rooney Road Recycling Center at 151 South Rooney Road in Golden, which takes electronics and batteries from Jefferson County residents and prices electronic waste per pound, with televisions capped per unit. It is open Wednesdays and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. by appointment. The Foothills Landfill refuses electronic waste, so a television is never a landfill load.Official guidance

How do bulky items leave an Applewood household?

There is no city bulky collection in Applewood, because the community is unincorporated and households choose their own hauler. The public option is a load taken to the Foothills Landfill in Golden, which charges a flat rate for a car or van, more for a pick-up filled above the cab, and per ton for commercial vehicles, with per item fees for mattresses and appliances. Hazardous waste and electronics go instead to the Rooney Road Recycling Center by appointment.Official guidance

Who collects trash and bulky items in Applewood?

No city department does. Applewood is an unincorporated Jefferson County community, and households arrange curbside collection with a private hauler, which is what the Applewood community association's waste page describes as it works toward a consolidated program. The county provides the public disposal routes instead: the Foothills Landfill in Golden for household, bulky and construction loads, and the Rooney Road Recycling Center for household hazardous waste and electronics.Official guidance

What does a trip to the Foothills Landfill cost?

The 2026 gate sheet charges a car load a flat rate with a minimum that includes fees, a passenger van, SUV or station wagon more, a commercial van or pick-up filled to the top of the cab more again, and pick-ups filled above the cab or trailers by the yard with a five yard minimum. Commercial vehicles carrying demolition or loose waste are charged by the ton with a three ton minimum, shingles are priced by the yard, and a mattress or appliance carries its own fee on top of the load. Fees for fuel recovery, the environment and the solid waste user charge are added, and an uncovered load is charged twice the load price.Official guidance

Where do paint, batteries and televisions go in Applewood?

To the Rooney Road Recycling Center at 151 South Rooney Road in Golden, which takes latex and oil based paint, cleaners, pesticides, motor oil, antifreeze, electronics and batteries from Jefferson County residents. It is open Wednesdays and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. and runs by appointment, with online booking for residential customers. Paint, motor oil and automotive batteries are accepted free, other hazardous material carries a co-pay for the first 75 pounds with a per pound rate above that, and electronic waste including televisions is priced by the pound.Official guidance

What will the landfill not take?

Liquids of any type unless the load carries the landfill's own paperwork, paint, tires, used oil, chemicals, batteries, electronic waste, friable asbestos, hazardous or combustible material, ammunition or fireworks, and medical waste without that paperwork. Fluorescent bulbs are accepted only with green tips, and a propane tank needs its valve removed 72 hours before disposal. The county's hazardous waste center in Golden takes the paint, cleaners, automotive fluids, batteries and electronics instead.Official guidance
