Finish clearing the space
The last few things still deserve a pickup.
You have decided what is going. Now give those bags and boxes a pickup day, with a price you can see before anyone arrives.
The move is nearly done.

The clear-out can be finished.
You do not need a whole house of junk. Select the bags, boxes and larger items you actually have. Your combined price is shown online.
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.

Household trash moves on the weekly cart route, and the monthly rate is based only on the trash cart size because the recycling cart and the organics cart are included at no extra cost. A 96-gallon trash cart holds ten 13-gallon bags, and a household that needs more capacity can ask for a second trash cart or a two, three or four yard dumpster through the City's collection line.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Recycling and organics carts are automatically included with residential trash service, and additional recycling or organics carts beyond 96 gallons are available at no extra cost. The monthly service rate depends only on the trash cart size, and the City does not publish per-item charges here.
When & how
Carts are serviced weekly. Put the cart out on the morning of collection rather than the night before, because the City is asking residents to reduce overnight food sources that draw bears into the neighborhood.
Get it ready
Keep carts clean to reduce lingering odors, and if a strap or latch is used to secure the lid during bear season, the household is responsible for unlocking or unlatching it before service so the lid is free to open.
Put the cart out on the morning of collection, not the night before
The City of Golden is asking residents to reduce overnight food sources because the community is seeing increased bear activity. Put carts out on the morning of collection, clean them periodically to cut lingering odors, move a cart to a secure location if a bear has already found food in it, and if a wildlife-resistant strap or latch is used, unlock or unlatch it before service so the lid is free to open.

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Golden?+
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?+

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 decides the monthly trash rate in Golden?+
The trash cart size, and nothing else. The City's Pay-As-You-Throw rates are based only on trash cart size, and the recycling cart and organics cart come with the service automatically. A household that needs a bigger recycling or organics cart can request one beyond 96 gallons at no extra cost.Official guidance
