You want to know it is handled.
When the next collection does not fit your plans, choose a Dropcurb pickup day. Updates keep you informed, and completion photos show when the booked items are gone.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
