A clear count. An exact price.

Count the bags and boxes, not everything inside.

A few simple choices turn a mixed pile into a clear booking. No need to estimate how much of a truck it might fill.

Filled bags and boxes

Count each trash bag or filled household box. Books and media go by the box. Clothes, bedding and shoes go by the filled bag. Toys packed together have a Box of toys choice. Ask us about unusually heavy or oversized bags and boxes first.

Empty cardboard and containers

Empty cardboard is a different choice: choose single empty boxes or tied bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Compacted bales have their own weight-based choices and require loading-dock access. A Storage bin choice covers the empty bin itself; ask us to confirm the contents if they are going too.

Furniture and other larger items

Add the actual larger item alongside your bags and boxes, such as a sofa, chair or mattress. It has its own price and preparation. Keep construction materials and items needing special handling out of ordinary household bags.

Trash Bash large item drop-off

Accepted with preparation

Brighton residents can drop large items at the Trash Bash twice a year, in the spring and in the fall, with proof of residency and identification. Furniture, cabinets, mattresses, appliances other than refrigerators and freezers, bicycles, cut carpet, doors, lawn equipment and nail free lumber are accepted.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free to City of Brighton residents with proof of residence such as a water bill and identification, at the spring and fall events only. A donation is suggested to help defray the cost of the service, and tires carry a per tire fee with no oversized tires accepted.
When & how
The 2026 drop-off days are Friday April 24 and Saturday April 25 and Friday September 18 and Saturday September 19, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day, at the Brighton Wastewater Treatment Facility, 325 North Kuner Rd, through the Brighton Street entrance.
Get it ready
Containerize small loose items so the weight matches the container, cut carpet up, leave branches unbundled because twine and rope foul the grinder, keep lumber nail free and under eight feet, and bring proof of residence and identification.

Couches and household furniture

Accepted with preparation

Furniture and cabinets are named among the acceptable items at the Trash Bash, so a couch leaves through the spring or fall drop-off rather than a curbside route the city does not run.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free to City of Brighton residents with proof of residence and identification at the two annual Trash Bash events, with a donation suggested to help defray the cost of the service.
When & how
Take the furniture to the Brighton Wastewater Treatment Facility at 325 North Kuner Rd on one of the four 2026 drop-off days, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.
Get it ready
Tie or tape the piece so it does not come apart in transit, keep small parts in a container, and leave mattresses and box springs separate if you are bringing both.

Mattresses and box springs

Accepted with preparation

Mattresses and box springs are named among the acceptable items at the Trash Bash, so the city's own route for them is the spring or fall drop-off.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free to City of Brighton residents with proof of residence and identification at the two annual Trash Bash events, with a donation suggested to help defray the cost of the service.
When & how
Take the mattress or box spring to the Brighton Wastewater Treatment Facility at 325 North Kuner Rd on one of the four 2026 drop-off days, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and bring box springs separately so each unit can be handled on its own. Do not leave either at the curb, because the city runs no curbside bulky pickup.

Appliances other than refrigeration units

Accepted with preparation

Appliances are named among the acceptable items at the Trash Bash with an express exception: refrigerators and freezers are refused, along with microwaves and air conditioners.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free to City of Brighton residents with proof of residence and identification at the two annual Trash Bash events, with a donation suggested to help defray the cost of the service. Refrigerators and freezers are not accepted there.

Take the appliance to the Brighton Wastewater Treatment Facility at 325 North Kuner Rd on one of the four 2026 drop-off days, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and secure the doors. Keep refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners and microwaves out of the load, because the city refuses them and directs them to the home trash removal company for special preparation at the landfill.
Trash Bash large item drop-off dates, location, accepted items and refusals

Refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners

Special rules apply

Refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners are expressly refused at the Trash Bash, and the city states that items like these need special preparations at the landfill through the home trash removal company.

City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no refrigerant appliance price. Refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners are refused at the Trash Bash and directed to the home trash removal company for special preparation at the landfill, so confirm the route and cost with that company before the unit leaves the house.
When & how
No city drop-off day for these units. Ask the home trash hauler about collection and any special preparation before the unit is set out.
Get it ready
Keep the unit upright, empty it, and do not put it in the Trash Bash load, because the city refuses refrigerators and freezers there. Ask the hauler what preparation the landfill requires.

Televisions, computers and electronic waste

Special rules apply

Colorado bans residential and business electronics from landfill disposal. Brighton refuses televisions, computers and office electrical equipment at the Trash Bash and runs the fall Eco Event for electronics, with year round recycling sites named for the rest of the year.

City cost & eligibility
From $30 for minimum fee per television, monitor or other large electronic item at the Brighton Eco Event, payable by cash or check only, while smaller electronics such as laptops, cell phones, servers and anything with a motherboard are free. The Eco Event is a City of Brighton event open to residents, and the year round drop-off sites named by the city set their own terms, so confirm the fee for any device before loading.
When & how
The Eco Event runs Saturday September 19, 2026 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Eagle View Adult Center, 1150 Prairie Center Parkway. Electronic waste can also be recycled year round at Veolia in Henderson or the SustainAbility Hard-To-Recycle Center in Broomfield.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data before handover, keep electronics out of the trash because Colorado bans them from landfill, leave major appliances at home since the Eco Event refuses them, and pay by cash or check at the event because cards are not accepted.

Construction and home improvement debris

Not on the regular city route

Concrete and home improvement project debris are refused at the Trash Bash, and the city tells residents those items need special preparations at the landfill through their home trash removal company.

City cost & eligibility
No city rate is published for project debris. Concrete and home improvement material are refused at the Trash Bash and routed to the home trash removal company and the landfill, so confirm the route, any special preparation and the price with that company or the receiving site.
When & how
No city drop-off day for this material. Arrange collection or a container through the home trash hauler before the work produces debris.
Get it ready
Keep concrete, project debris and grass clippings out of the Trash Bash load, because the city refuses them, and keep liquids, paint, motor oil and chemicals out as well since those go to the county chemical programme.

Exercise equipment

Special rules apply

Exercise equipment is not named on the Trash Bash lists, although furniture, cabinets, bicycles and lawn and yard equipment are, so a machine has to be confirmed before it is hauled across town.

City cost & eligibility
A machine that the city treated as furniture or yard equipment would ride the free Trash Bash drop-off, but the published list does not name exercise equipment, so call Public Works at 303-655-2087 and confirm the item before loading the truck.
When & how
Confirm first, then take the machine to 325 North Kuner Rd on one of the four 2026 drop-off days between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. if it is accepted.
Get it ready
Break the machine down as far as it will come apart, remove any console or battery pack so the electronics are handled separately, and keep the pieces out of the trash because the city does not run curbside pickup.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Four drop-off days a year at the wastewater plant

The Trash Bash runs Friday April 24 and Saturday April 25 and Friday September 18 and Saturday September 19 in 2026, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day, at the Brighton Wastewater Treatment Facility, 325 North Kuner Rd, using the Brighton Street entrance. Bring a city water bill or other proof of residence plus identification, because the programme is for City of Brighton residents and commercial or industrial loads are turned away.

How to pack a Trash Bash load

Containerize small loose items so the weight is reasonable for the container, cut carpet up, leave branches unbundled because twine and rope foul the grinder, and keep lumber nail free and shorter than eight feet. Tires are accepted for a per tire fee with no oversized tires, and a donation is suggested to help defray the cost of the service.

What stays home from the Trash Bash

Household trash, commercial waste, concrete and home improvement project debris, grass clippings, televisions, computers, air conditioners, freezers, microwaves, refrigerators, office electrical equipment, car bodies, smoke detectors and sealed containers with unknown contents are refused. Liquids, paint, motor oil, pesticides and chemicals are refused too, because those go to the county chemical waste programme.

One fall morning for electronics and shredding

The Eco Event runs Saturday September 19, 2026 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Eagle View Adult Center, 1150 Prairie Center Parkway.

Brighton Eco Event electronic recycling and paper shredding details

Electronics cannot go in the landfill

Colorado law bans residential and business electronics from landfill disposal and requires recycling, so devices should not go in the trash anywhere in Brighton. The city points to its fall Eco Event and to year round electronic recycling at Veolia in Henderson or the SustainAbility Hard-To-Recycle Center in Broomfield.

The city publishes the county routes without a rate.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Self haul in Brighton means driving to one of the city's own events or to a county chemical facility, because the city runs no curbside collection of its own. Furniture, mattresses, appliances other than refrigeration units, cut carpet, doors, lawn equipment and nail free lumber go to the Trash Bash drop-off at 325 North Kuner Rd on one of the four 2026 dates, with proof of residence and identification. Electronics go to the fall Eco Event at the Eagle View Adult Center on September 19, where smaller devices are free and televisions and monitors carry a minimum fee, or year round to Veolia in Henderson or the SustainAbility Hard-To-Recycle Center in Broomfield. Household chemicals go to the county that serves the address, either the Weld County facilities in Dacono and Greeley or the Adams County chemical round-up events. Refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners and home improvement debris have no city route at all, and the city directs residents to their own trash hauler for the special preparation the landfill requires.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Brighton.

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Brighton?

A trash bag is $59 as the first item and $10 additional. A filled household box is $59 as the first item. Add your actual items and quantities to see the combined price before booking. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; any applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

Can you pick up bags of junk today?

Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Available dates appear at checkout. Have the booked bags and boxes outside and accessible according to your confirmation. You receive pickup updates and completion photos; the booking is for a day rather than an exact arrival time.

Do I count every object inside a bag or box?

No. Count the filled bags or boxes using the matching choice. Books and media go in Filled household box; clothes, bedding and shoes go in Bag of clothes & bedding; packed toys have a Box of toys choice. Empty cardboard is separate, with individual empty boxes and bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Heavy, oversized or unusual contents need a photo review before booking.

Can you pick up a small loose pile of household junk?

Yes. Estimate how many trash bags the small household pile would fill, and bag or box as much as possible. Select furniture and other larger items separately. There is no extra charge just because the pile is loose. Send a photo first if the count or contents are unclear. A household Dumpster Bag choice does not accept construction debris.

Can I book bags, boxes and furniture together?

Yes. Select the bags and boxes, then add each larger item using its own catalog choice. The booking shows one combined price for the selected items. Move everything to an accessible outdoor spot before pickup; indoor carrying and sorting are not included. Keep anything you want to retain apart from the booked items and identify what goes in your photos and notes.

What is refused at the Brighton Trash Bash?

Household trash, commercial waste, concrete and home improvement project debris, grass clippings, televisions, computers, air conditioners, freezers, microwaves, refrigerators, office electrical equipment, car bodies, smoke detectors, liquids, paint, motor oil, pesticides, chemicals, toxic or corrosive material and sealed containers with unknown contents. The city directs those items to the home trash removal company because they need special preparations at the landfill.Official guidance

Can I take a couch to the Brighton Trash Bash?

Yes. Furniture and cabinets are on the acceptable list for the spring and fall drop-off, and the service is free to City of Brighton residents with proof of residence and identification. Take it to 325 North Kuner Rd through the Brighton Street entrance between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. on one of the four 2026 dates.Official guidance

Where does a refrigerator go in Brighton?
