City collection A couch leaves through the hauler that serves the address. The hauler's bulk pickup page names furniture among common bulky items, and the private companies serving Highlands Ranch advertise special item pickups for pieces that do not fit the bin. Bulk pickup availability, accepted items and prices vary by location, and the association's discounted arrangement with one hauler does not set a public bulky price, so confirm the fee for the piece with the company that collects the address before it is set out.
City collection A mattress goes out as a bulky item with the hauler serving the address. Neither the Metro District nor the community association publishes a mattress drop-off for Highlands Ranch, and the county's at the door program is for hazardous products rather than bedding. The hauler sets the bulky item price and availability varies by location, so confirm what a mattress pickup costs before it is put out, rather than assuming it rides free with the weekly carts.
City collection Appliances are bulky items in Highlands Ranch. The hauler's own page names water heaters, washers and dryers among common bulky items, and the smaller household appliances are not cart material. The hauler sets the price and the accepted list varies by location, so confirm the fee and whether the specific appliance is taken before it goes to the curb, and ask about any charge for a unit that still holds refrigerant.
City collection Highlands Ranch has no district bulky collection. Households either join the community association's voluntary opt-in program with Waste Connections or hire another hauler, and bulky pickups come from whichever company serves the address. The association program offers a discounted rate with one hauler but publishes no item prices, and the hauler's own page says bulky availability, accepted items and prices vary by location, so confirm the bulky terms with the company that collects the address before booking.
The highest first-item price applies once. Every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Highlands Ranch has no municipal trash department. Collection comes from private haulers, and the community association runs a voluntary opt-in program with Waste Connections at a discounted association rate while making clear that other providers may still serve the community and that trash service is not part of the association assessment. Large items follow the same route, because the hauler's own bulk pickup page describes furniture, water heaters, washers and dryers as common bulky items while warning that availability, the accepted items and the price all vary by location, so the pickup date and the terms come from the company serving the address. Two other streams are separate. Paint, batteries, propane tanks, fertilizer and similar products go through Douglas County Health's household hazardous waste program, which Highlands Ranch Water sponsors and which sends Waste Management to the door for one appointment a year with a co-payment. Yard and tree material has the Metro District's own events, including a composting and tree recycling drop-off the district runs on selected dates. Mattresses, appliances, electronics and renovation debris are not accepted in the carts, and each leaves through the hauler or the county program.

City cost & eligibility
Bulk pickup availability, accepted items and prices vary by location, and the association's discounted arrangement with one hauler does not set a public bulky price, so confirm the fee for the piece with the company that collects the address before it is set out.
When & how
Call the hauler serving the address to book the bulky pickup, or contact the association's opt-in provider at 303-288-2100 if the household is in that program, and wait for the pickup date to be confirmed before anything goes to the curb.
Get it ready
Confirm the pickup date first, as the hauler asks, and keep the piece off the street until then. Electronics, paint, batteries, propane tanks and other household products do not ride with a furniture load, because those go through the county's household hazardous waste program.
A mattress goes out as a bulky item with the hauler serving the address. Neither the Metro District nor the community association publishes a mattress drop-off for Highlands Ranch, and the county's at the door program is for hazardous products rather than bedding.
City cost & eligibility
The hauler sets the bulky item price and availability varies by location, so confirm what a mattress pickup costs before it is put out, rather than assuming it rides free with the weekly carts.
When & how
Ask the hauler serving the address for a bulky item pickup, or call the association's opt-in provider at 303-288-2100 if the household is enrolled in that program.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and confirm the pickup date before setting it out. A mattress must never be placed with hazardous products for the county pickup, which is limited to one appointment a year and is meant for paint, batteries, propane tanks and similar items.
Appliances are bulky items in Highlands Ranch. The hauler's own page names water heaters, washers and dryers among common bulky items, and the smaller household appliances are not cart material.
City cost & eligibility
The hauler sets the price and the accepted list varies by location, so confirm the fee and whether the specific appliance is taken before it goes to the curb, and ask about any charge for a unit that still holds refrigerant.
When & how
Book the bulky pickup with the hauler serving the address, or with the association's opt-in provider at 303-288-2100, and wait for the confirmed date.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and keep it out of the carts. Hazardous products including paint, batteries and propane tanks go through the county's at the door program rather than with the appliance, and a household should not put a refrigerant unit out without confirming that the hauler accepts it.
Electronics go through the county household hazardous waste program or a specialist recycler rather than a cart. Highlands Ranch Water sponsors the Douglas County Health program, which sends Waste Management to the door once a year for a co-payment.
City cost & eligibility
$30 for co-payment for the at the door household hazardous waste pickup, which covers one scheduled appointment per household per calendar year. Highlands Ranch households in the Douglas County Health program service area, with scheduling and the accepted and non-accepted item lists held by the county, so confirm that the specific device is accepted before booking.
When & how
Schedule the appointment with Douglas County Health, which the water district page links to, and confirm what will be collected before the pickup day.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data from a computer, phone or drive before it leaves the house, and keep electronics out of every cart. Note that the county program takes one appointment a year for the household, so list everything that needs to go in the same visit.
Renovation debris is not a household collection stream in Highlands Ranch. The haulers serving the community sell temporary dumpster and roll-off service for remodels and construction, which is where a project arranges the container.
City cost & eligibility
Container prices come from the company supplying the box and depend on the size, the tonnage allowance and the material, and none of the Highlands Ranch sources publishes a rate, so confirm the size, the allowance and the accepted material before ordering.
When & how
Order the container from the hauler serving the address before the work starts, and confirm the pull when the box is full.
Get it ready
Keep liquids, paint, chemicals, batteries and propane tanks out of a construction box, because those go through the county household hazardous waste program, and secure the load if material is hauled in a vehicle instead of a container.
Exercise equipment is named nowhere in the Highlands Ranch material, so a treadmill or weight machine has to be confirmed with the hauler that would collect it.
City cost & eligibility
The hauler sets the bulky item price and availability varies by location, so confirm whether the machine counts as a bulky item and what the pickup costs before it is moved.
When & how
Call the hauler serving the address and describe the machine before booking a bulky pickup.
Get it ready
Give the weight and size when you call, and take the console or any battery pack off so the electronics go through the county program instead of riding with the machine.
Highlands Ranch has no district bulky collection. Households either join the community association's voluntary opt-in program with Waste Connections or hire another hauler, and bulky pickups come from whichever company serves the address.
City cost & eligibility
The association program offers a discounted rate with one hauler but publishes no item prices, and the hauler's own page says bulky availability, accepted items and prices vary by location, so confirm the bulky terms with the company that collects the address before booking.
When & how
Choose a hauler from the licensed providers serving the community, or enroll in the association's opt-in program by calling 303-288-2100, then book the bulky pickup and confirm the date before setting anything out.
Get it ready
Confirm the pickup date before items go to the curb, and keep the load out of the street until then. Paint, batteries, propane tanks, fertilizer and similar products go through the county's at the door household hazardous waste program instead, and yard and tree material can go to the district's own drop-off events.
Collection comes from a hauler, not from the district
Highlands Ranch has no municipal trash department. The Community Association runs a voluntary opt-in program with Waste Connections at a discounted association rate, with one pickup day a week in each of five service zones and single-stream recycling, while making clear that other providers may still serve the community and that the trash service is not included in the association assessment. Residents in the opt-in program have used standardized containers issued by the hauler since February 2026, and putting trash out on the wrong day or leaving containers out falls under the community's residential improvement guidelines.
A bulky pickup is booked with the hauler and confirmed first
Bulky pickups in Highlands Ranch come from the company that collects the address. The hauler's own bulk page names water heaters, washers, dryers and furniture as common bulky items, states that availability, accepted items and prices vary by location, and asks customers to confirm the pickup date before placing anything at the curb. Existing customers in some service areas can schedule and prepay online, and the customer line is published for the rest.
Hazardous products and electronics go through the county at the door
Paint, fertilizer, propane tanks, batteries and other household products never go in a cart or with a bulky load. Highlands Ranch Water sponsors the Douglas County Health household hazardous waste program, which partners with Waste Management to collect unwanted hazardous items at the door: a household can schedule one appointment per calendar year and pays a co-payment for the pickup. The county holds the accepted and non-accepted item lists and the scheduling, so confirm the items and the appointment before the pickup day.
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.
