City collection Furniture is on the eligible list for the city's Large Item Clean-Up, the single neighborhood sweep that runs in two areas during the weeks of September 14 and September 21. The piece has to be bundled or packaged, sit curbside in front of the property, be out by 7:00 AM on the neighborhood's date and be light enough for two people to lift. No charge. No charge for households in residential and manufactured neighborhoods during the two-week sweep, one pass only, with apartment, condo and townhome areas excluded. A pile that is late, on private property or not packaged may be refused or carry a special collection fee.
City collection Mattresses are on the non-eligible list for the city sweep, so bedding does not go out with the Large Item Clean-Up. The hauler that serves Federal Heights sells a scheduled bulky pickup and names mattresses among the large items it removes, so the household books that instead. The hauler publishes the bulky pickup service but no rate, so confirm the price per mattress and the collection day when the pickup is scheduled.
City collection An appliance that holds no Freon is eligible for the city sweep, while a refrigerator or air conditioner with Freon is refused there along with microwaves. The hauler's scheduled bulky pickup covers appliances for the units the sweep will not take. No charge. No charge at the Large Item Clean-Up for appliances without Freon in the covered neighborhoods, one pass only. A Freon appliance, including a refrigerator or air conditioner, has to go through the hauler's scheduled bulky pickup at the hauler's own price.
City collection The Large Item Clean-Up takes household bulk items such as furniture, doors, cabinets, carpeting and padding, bicycles with tires removed, and bagged or boxed grass, weeds and brush with branches bundled to four feet. Household trash that the normal provider accepts is refused, and the pile has to be out by 7:00 AM on the neighborhood date for the single crew pass. No charge. No charge during the annual sweep for households in residential and manufactured neighborhoods, excluding apartment, condo and townhome areas. Late, unbundled or private-property piles risk refusal or a special collection fee, and ordinary household trash is not part of the program.
The highest first-item price applies once. Every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Federal Heights runs its bulky program as a single neighborhood sweep rather than a booked pickup. The Large Item Clean-Up moves through all residential and manufactured neighborhoods, but not apartment, condo or townhome areas, in two areas during the weeks of September 14 and September 21, with each neighborhood assigned a date and one pass by the crews. Furniture, doors, cabinets, lumber with the nails removed, bagged or boxed yard material, bundled branches up to four feet, bicycles with tires removed, carpeting and appliances that hold no Freon are all eligible, provided a pile is bundled or packaged, sits curbside in front of the property, is out by 7:00 AM on the assigned date and can be lifted safely by two people. Mattresses, tires, microwaves, electronics, Freon appliances, concrete, brick, rock, asphalt, drums, paint, batteries, propane, automotive fluids and household trash are refused, and those items move through the hauler instead, which sells a scheduled bulky pickup and a by-appointment special waste collection for paint, chemicals, batteries and electronics.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. No charge for households in residential and manufactured neighborhoods during the two-week sweep, one pass only, with apartment, condo and townhome areas excluded. A pile that is late, on private property or not packaged may be refused or carry a special collection fee.
When & how
Area 1 runs September 14 to 16 and Area 2 runs September 21 to 23, with each neighborhood assigned one of those dates; the pile is curbside by 7:00 AM on that date.
Get it ready
Bundle or package the piece, keep it curbside in front of the property rather than on the driveway or private ground, and disassemble anything too heavy for two people, because the crew makes a single pass and will not return for material that was not ready.
Mattresses are on the non-eligible list for the city sweep, so bedding does not go out with the Large Item Clean-Up. The hauler that serves Federal Heights sells a scheduled bulky pickup and names mattresses among the large items it removes, so the household books that instead.
City cost & eligibility
The hauler publishes the bulky pickup service but no rate, so confirm the price per mattress and the collection day when the pickup is scheduled.
When & how
Book the bulky pickup directly with the hauler, which runs on a scheduled day rather than during the city sweep.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and complete, keep it off the curb for the city sweep because mattresses are refused there, and confirm with the hauler whether the box spring counts as a separate item.
An appliance that holds no Freon is eligible for the city sweep, while a refrigerator or air conditioner with Freon is refused there along with microwaves. The hauler's scheduled bulky pickup covers appliances for the units the sweep will not take.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. No charge at the Large Item Clean-Up for appliances without Freon in the covered neighborhoods, one pass only. A Freon appliance, including a refrigerator or air conditioner, has to go through the hauler's scheduled bulky pickup at the hauler's own price.
When & how
The sweep runs in Area 1 from September 14 to 16 and Area 2 from September 21 to 23 with a 7:00 AM curbside deadline. A hauler pickup is booked separately on a scheduled day.
Get it ready
Empty and defrost the unit, secure the doors, keep it light enough for two people to handle, and check the refrigerant status before setting anything out, because a Freon appliance is refused at the sweep and has to be booked with the hauler.
Televisions, monitors and computers are on the non-eligible list for the city sweep, so electronics do not go out with the Large Item Clean-Up. The hauler collects paint, chemicals, batteries and electronics by appointment through its special waste service, and the city recycling page points to the state electronics guidance and to Adams County recycling resources and events.
City cost & eligibility
The hauler publishes the special waste appointment service without a rate, and the county and state links set their own event terms, so confirm the charge and the drop-off opportunity before moving a device.
When & how
The special waste pickup is booked by appointment with the hauler, and Adams County event dates are published by the county rather than by the city.
Get it ready
Keep electronics out of the sweep pile because they are refused there, wipe personal data before handover, and keep batteries separate because the hauler lists batteries among the materials that need special handling.
Clean household-scale building items are eligible for the city sweep: doors, cabinets and lumber with the nails removed. Heavy or dirty material is not, because concrete, brick, rock, asphalt, 55 gallon drums and hazardous household or construction chemicals are all on the non-eligible list, so a mixed demolition load has no city route.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. No charge for the eligible clean items at the Large Item Clean-Up within the one-pass sweep, provided the pile is bundled or packaged and can be lifted by two people. Refused material such as concrete, brick, rock, asphalt, drums and hazardous construction chemicals has to be handled privately.
When & how
Eligible material goes out by 7:00 AM on the neighborhood date in Area 1 between September 14 and 16 or Area 2 between September 21 and 23.
Get it ready
Pull the nails from lumber so it can be handled safely, bundle long pieces, keep hazardous construction chemicals, paint and solvents out altogether, and know that concrete, brick, rock, asphalt and drums will be left behind.
Exercise equipment is named on neither the eligible nor the non-eligible list, and the sweep refuses anything too bulky, heavy or large to be lifted safely by two people. A machine therefore has to be confirmed with the city or the hauler before it is set out.
City cost & eligibility
The city lists neither an exercise machine nor a rate for one, and the two-person lift rule can rule a heavy machine out, so confirm before the sweep date or book the hauler's scheduled bulky pickup instead.
When & how
Ask the city at 303-428-3526 before the neighborhood's sweep date, or book a hauler pickup on a scheduled day.
Get it ready
Describe the machine and its weight when asking, disassemble it as far as it will go so two people can lift the frame, and keep the machine off the curb unless it has been confirmed, because a refused pile can carry a special collection fee.
Bulky items, bagged yard material and household clutter
Accepted with preparation
The Large Item Clean-Up takes household bulk items such as furniture, doors, cabinets, carpeting and padding, bicycles with tires removed, and bagged or boxed grass, weeds and brush with branches bundled to four feet. Household trash that the normal provider accepts is refused, and the pile has to be out by 7:00 AM on the neighborhood date for the single crew pass.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. No charge during the annual sweep for households in residential and manufactured neighborhoods, excluding apartment, condo and townhome areas. Late, unbundled or private-property piles risk refusal or a special collection fee, and ordinary household trash is not part of the program.
When & how
Area 1 is September 14 to 16 and Area 2 is September 21 to 23, with one date per neighborhood and a 7:00 AM curbside deadline; residents are told to wait 24 hours before reporting a missed pile.
Get it ready
Bundle or package everything, keep the pile curbside in front of the property, remove tires from bicycles, keep branches under four feet, and remember that crews make one pass, so anything not ready at 7:00 AM may be left behind.
Paint, oil, antifreeze, automotive fluids, batteries, propane cylinders, flammable fluids and hazardous household or construction chemicals are all on the non-eligible list for the city sweep. The hauler collects paint, chemicals and batteries by appointment, and the city recycling page links Adams County recycling resources and events plus paint stewardship drop-off.
City cost & eligibility
The hauler publishes the by-appointment special waste service without a rate, and the county events and paint drop-off sites set their own terms, so confirm the charge and the drop-off opportunity before moving the material.
When & how
Book the special waste pickup with the hauler by appointment, or use a county recycling event or a paint stewardship drop-off listed through the city page.
Get it ready
Keep paint, solvents, batteries, propane and automotive fluids out of the sweep pile because all of them are refused there, keep products in labelled containers, and never pour or burn the material, because the city page repeats the standard warnings against drains, ditches, burning and burial.
The Large Item Clean-Up sweeps the whole city in two areas during the weeks of September 14 and September 21, with each neighborhood assigned one date inside Area 1 from September 14 to 16 or Area 2 from September 21 to 23. Crews make a single pass, so items have to be bundled or packaged, sitting curbside in front of the property, and out by 7:00 AM on the assigned date, and any pile that is late or placed on private property may be refused or charged a special collection fee.
Mattresses, household trash, tires, appliances containing Freon such as refrigerators and air conditioners, microwaves, televisions, monitors, computers and other electronics, concrete, brick, rock, asphalt, 55 gallon drums, hazardous household or construction chemicals and materials, oil, antifreeze, automotive fluids, paint, batteries, propane bottles and containers, flammable fluids, junk cars, motorcycles and boats are all refused. Anything too bulky, heavy or large for two people to lift is refused as well.
The hauler serving Federal Heights runs weekly trash with 96 gallon carts, bi-weekly recycling, overflow bags at a published charge after the second bag, a scheduled bulky pickup for large items such as furniture, mattresses and appliances, and a special waste pickup by appointment for paint, chemicals, batteries and electronics. It also offers free carry-out service for veterans and senior customers.
County and state routes for electronics, chemicals and paint
The city recycling page gathers the outside options: Colorado recycling centers, the EPA guidance on common recyclables, Adams County recycling resources and events, the Adams County sustainability program, and paint drop-off under the state paint stewardship law. The city also points residents at the state health department's electronics recycling information.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.
