The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Fort Collins contracts with Republic Services to collect curbside trash, recycling and seasonal yard trimmings from single family homes and small multi-family buildings of seven units or fewer, on a pay-as-you-throw program with five service levels priced by trash cart size. Two bulk items a year are included in that service, and anything heavier than sixty pounds or longer than six feet becomes a fee-based collection. Larger items move through the City's hard-to-recycle drop-off at the Timberline Recycling Center or the Larimer County Landfill on South Taft Hill Road, where mattresses, appliances and electronics are recycled for their own fees and household hazardous waste is free for county residents.

Self-hauled furniture goes to the Larimer County Landfill as loose waste, charged by the cubic yard or under the flat fee for the vehicle carrying it.
City cost & eligibility
From $13.25 per cubic yard of loose waste at the Larimer County Landfill, with a two cubic yard minimum, or the published flat fee for a car, SUV, passenger van, pickup or cargo van load. Residential loads at the Larimer County Landfill; a curbside couch collection through Republic Services is quoted by the collector because it is not one of the two free bulk items.
When & how
Bulky collections are scheduled with Republic Services, separately from the weekly cart collection. The landfill gate is open Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and closes on New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.
Get it ready
Leave the piece whole and keep doors and cushions with it so the collector can handle it in one lift. If the load is self-hauled, cover and secure it, because an uncovered or unsecured load is charged double at every county location.

Residential self-haul loads at the Larimer County Landfill; the two free curbside bulky items come with the City's contracted service.
When & how
Schedule a bulky item with Republic Services before the collection day, not on it. Yard trimmings collection pauses from November 30 through April 1, while scheduled bulk pickups continue through the winter.
Get it ready
Put the item where the collector instructed and keep the path clear. Carts and items left out longer than twelve hours should be brought in overnight so the address does not draw a code warning.

Get it ready
Empty the unit and keep the doors with it. Take a Freon unit to the landfill rather than the Timberline Recycling Center, which refuses Freon items and pressurized containers such as propane tanks.
Throwing electronics in the trash is illegal in Colorado, so a television, computer, monitor or phone goes to a recycler instead. The Larimer County Landfill recycles electronics by weight, and the City's Timberline Recycling Center takes them for a per-item fee on top of its entry fee.
City cost & eligibility
From $0.65 per pound for laptops, central processing units and tablets at the Larimer County Landfill electronics recycling area, with a higher published per-pound rate for other residential electronics.

When & how

Get it ready
Wipe personal data and keep devices whole. Treat anything with a circuit board as electronic waste rather than scrap metal, because the City drops those items into the electronic waste stream with fees attached.
A treadmill or other exercise machine moves as a bulky item, because the free curbside allowance stops at sixty pounds and six feet. The contracted collector quotes the machine as a fee-based collection, and a self-hauled machine is charged as loose waste by the cubic yard with a two cubic yard minimum.
City cost & eligibility
From $13.25 per cubic yard of loose waste at the Larimer County Landfill, with a two cubic yard minimum, or the published flat fee for the car, pickup or van carrying it. Residential loads at the Larimer County Landfill; a curbside exercise machine is quoted by Republic Services as a fee-based bulky item.
When & how
Schedule the curb pickup with Republic Services, or deliver the machine to the landfill gate Monday through Saturday between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.
Get it ready
Remove or fold down the console and any electronics before the machine leaves the house, because those parts are electronic waste and have to be recycled rather than buried, then secure the load for the trip.
Concrete, dirt, sod, asphalt and tree trunks are charged as rubble by the cubic yard at the Larimer County Landfill, shingles and drywall carry their own published rates, and a roll-off container is charged by the ton with a one ton minimum. The Timberline Recycling Center also takes clean concrete, brick, rock, tile and porcelain in loads up to ten cubic yards, and untreated unpainted wood is priced by the cubic yard there.
City cost & eligibility
From $40 per cubic yard of rubble such as concrete, dirt, sod, asphalt and tree trunks at the Larimer County Landfill, with shingles, drywall and roll-off containers on separate published rates.

When & how
Deliver debris during landfill hours, Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. A roll-off is scheduled with a hauler and dropped at the landfill on the same gate schedule.
Get it ready
Separate unpainted untreated wood from treated or painted material, because the county refuses treated wood and painted wood, and pull metal and plastic out of clean concrete and porcelain before a drop-off at the recycling center.
Follow the collector's instructions for cart placement, and bring carts in overnight if they stay out longer than twelve hours so the address does not draw a code warning. Every cart needs three feet of clearance on the sides and sixteen feet of overhead clearance so the truck can reach it.
Unsecured or uncovered loads are charged double at every Larimer County solid waste location, so tarp and tie down anything headed to the landfill or the recycling center. Both sites close for mud, wind and severe weather, and the county posts current restrictions on its solid waste home page.
Hazardous waste arrives boxed and upright, with no container over five gallons
The household hazardous waste facility takes up to thirty gallons per vehicle, measured by the size of the containers rather than how full they are, which is roughly four medium moving boxes. No single container may be larger than five gallons, up to ten fluorescent bulbs are taken per visit, and material has to arrive in non-leaking labeled containers, packaged upright in boxes rather than trash bags or trash cans.
The hazardous waste facility is closed to the public every Wednesday
Household hazardous waste is accepted Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and the facility is closed to the public on Wednesday, when the site is reserved for business waste by appointment. Household material from Larimer County residents is free, and waste from another county has to go to that county's own program.
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.

A household with electronics, batteries, paint, motor oil, clean aggregates or unpainted wood that does not belong in a curbside cart.
Cost & conditions
From $5 for entry fee for the hard-to-recycle materials yard, with additional per-item or per-cubic-yard fees on electronics, wood waste and yard trimmings. Residents and commercial customers; batteries, antifreeze, motor oil and cooking oil are limited to residential loads, and the everyday recyclables yard stays free.
Arrange it
Load the material yourself, drive to the center, and unload it in the hard-to-recycle yard, where staff can point out the right drop-off spot.

Free household hazardous waste for Larimer County residents
A household with paint, lawn chemicals, automotive fluids, cleaners or batteries that cannot go into a curbside cart.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Typical household hazardous waste from Larimer County residents is free. Waste from businesses, landlords, churches, non-profits, hobbyists and other organizations has to go through the county business program.
Arrange it

Opt out of the City contract and use your own licensed hauler
A household or small multi-family building that wants a different collector for carts, bulky items or service days than the contracted collector offers.
Cost & conditions
$11.41 per month opt-out fee for a household that keeps its own licensed hauler instead of the contracted collector, with a separate City administrative fee added to the bill. Single family homes and small multi-family buildings of seven units or fewer inside Fort Collins city limits; not paying the service or opt-out fee is a City Code violation.
Arrange it
Confirm the account with a hauler that holds a City hauler license, then file the opt-out with the City so the contract charge is replaced by the opt-out fee.
Every hauler collecting recycling, compost or waste in Fort Collins has to hold a City license and report data twice a year, so an unlicensed collector is not an option.
