A clear count. An exact price.

Count the bags and boxes, not everything inside.

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.

Bulky items and household clutter

Accepted with preparation

Grand Junction has no city bulky item pickup. Large household loads go to the Mesa County Landfill as residential loose trash priced by the ton, with a minimum that covers a small load.

City cost & eligibility
From $10 for minimum disposal fee at the Mesa County Landfill covering up to 380 pounds, with commercial or residential loose trash charged 32 dollars per ton above that. Households hauling their own load. The load must be covered and secured before arrival or it is charged double, and hazardous waste, liquid waste, universal waste, refrigerant appliances and out-of-county waste are prohibited.
When & how
Deliver to the Mesa County Landfill at 3071 US-50 during its open hours, Monday through Friday 7:00 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. or Saturday 8:00 a.m. to 4:15 p.m.
Get it ready
Cover and secure the whole load at home, expecting a double charge if it is uncovered. Sort out mattresses and tires, which are priced per item, and keep electronics, batteries, light bulbs and appliances with refrigerants out of the load because the landfill refuses them and the hazardous waste facility takes them instead.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Cover and secure the load before it leaves the driveway

The Mesa County Landfill requires every incoming load to be covered and secured, and the rule is enforced at the gate: an uncovered load is charged double, with no exceptions, and loads cannot be tarped on or near the county campus. A tarp or cargo net, a blanket, carpet or even a mattress counts as cover if it covers the entire load and is securely tied to the vehicle, while a shredded tarp or one loosely tucked into the vehicle does not count.

The city takes the small stuff, the county takes the rest

The City of Grand Junction's Solid Waste Division runs weekly automated refuse collection for residential addresses of fewer than eight units, and as its new programme expands it also adds automated recycling and yard waste compost collection to that service. It publishes no bulky item pickup. Anything larger, from furniture to a renovation load, goes to the county landfill at 3071 US-50, while electronics and appliances with refrigerants go to the county hazardous waste collection facility at the same address.

County hours, city carts and the holiday delay

The landfill is open Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. and Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:15 p.m., and the hazardous waste collection facility and the composting facility are open Wednesday through Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. The county contact is 970-241-6846. On the city side, no trash or recycling is collected on a major holiday and a holiday falling on a weekday delays collection by one day for the rest of that week, and residents with a disability or over the age of 65 can ask for the operator to pull the container out and return it each week.

Cover and secure the load at home, then drive to 3071 US-50 during landfill hours, Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. or Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:15 p.m., and pay by cash, check or credit or debit card.

Use the city's weekly collection service

A residential address of fewer than eight units inside the city limits that needs weekly refuse collection, recycling and, where the expanded programme has arrived, yard waste compost collection.

Cost & conditions
From $16 for published 2026 monthly container rates, which the city lists as 16 dollars for a 48 gallon, 18 dollars for a 64 gallon and 26 dollars for a 96 gallon residential container, and 22 dollars for a 64 gallon or 35 dollars for a 96 gallon container under the trash and single stream recycling programme. Residential customers of fewer than eight units within the city limits. Rates are established by resolution and the division is run as a utility enterprise.
Arrange it
Set the containers out on the scheduled collection day, and note that a weekday holiday delays collection by one day for the rest of that week.

This service covers household refuse, recycling and, where the programme has expanded, yard waste, but it does not take bulky items, appliances, electronics or construction material, which go to the county facilities instead.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Self-haul in Grand Junction means the Mesa County campus at 3071 US-50, where the landfill and the hazardous waste collection facility sit at the same address. The landfill is the destination for household loads, furniture, mattresses and approved demolition debris, open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4:15 p.m., and it charges a ten dollar minimum covering up to 380 pounds with loose trash at 32 dollars per ton, mattresses and box springs at 20 dollars each and tires priced per item. Two rules catch people at the gate: the load has to be covered and secured before arrival or it is charged double, and hazardous, liquid, universal and out-of-county waste is refused. The hazardous waste collection facility next door is where the refused items go, open Wednesday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4:15 p.m., charging 80 cents per pound for electronic waste, 65 dollars for a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner and 10 dollars for a non-hazardous appliance while accepting paint, batteries, automotive fluids, light bulbs, garden products, cleaning products and the rest of the household hazardous list free within published residential limits. The county contact for both is 970-241-6846, and the hazardous waste facility is at 970-256-9543. The city itself runs no drop-off for these materials: it collects refuse, recycling and, where the new programme has expanded, yard waste compost from the curb at the published monthly container rates.
