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.

Two bulky items a year are included with the contracted curbside service at no extra charge, limited to items under sixty pounds with no dimension over six feet, such as a vacuum, a dining chair, a nightstand, a card table or a wicker chair. Anything larger or heavier is a fee-based collection, and a self-hauled load is charged by vehicle or by the cubic yard at the Larimer County Landfill.
City cost & eligibility
From $20 for flat fee per car, SUV or passenger van load at the Larimer County Landfill, with a higher flat fee for a pickup or cargo van and a per-cubic-yard rate for trailers and rental trucks. 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.
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.
Two free bulk items a year through the City's contracted collector
A household with a vacuum, a dining chair, luggage, a nightstand, a card table or a wicker chair that fits the size and weight limits.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Single family homes and small multi-family buildings of seven units or fewer inside Fort Collins city limits that use the contracted program, two free bulk items a year at no extra charge.
Arrange it
Call Republic Services to schedule a bulky item, and keep the piece accessible on the scheduled day.
Two items a year, each under sixty pounds with no dimension over six feet. Anything over those limits is a fee-based collection set by the collector.
City hard-to-recycle drop-off at the Timberline Recycling Center
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.
The center offers no pickup service, commercial customers cannot bring batteries, and the appliance and Freon items, propane tanks and other pressurized containers are refused. Confirm the current hours before a trip.
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
Bring the material to the county hazardous waste facility during an open day, packaged upright in labeled boxes, and residents can also shop the Drop N Swap shelf for free paint and other items.
The facility is closed to the public every Wednesday, the limit is thirty gallons per vehicle, no container may exceed five gallons and only ten fluorescent bulbs are taken per visit.
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.
