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

Special rules apply

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.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

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.

For your Dropcurb pickup

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.

Private haulers serving Highlands Ranch, with Douglas County Health's household hazardous waste program and Metro District yard and tree events

Book a bulky item pickup with a hauler

A household with furniture, a mattress, an appliance or another large item that will not fit in the cart.

Cost & conditions
The hauler states that bulky availability, accepted items and prices vary by location and asks customers to contact the local office, so confirm the item, the date and the price before the pickup is arranged; existing customers in some areas can schedule and prepay online.
Arrange it
Use the hauler's bulk pickup request page or call the local office with the address, then confirm the pickup date before setting anything out.

Bulky terms differ by location and by company, and hazardous products, electronics, paint, batteries and propane tanks cannot ride with a bulky load.

Use the district's yard and tree drop-off events

A household with tree limbs, limbs, brush, Christmas trees or other yard material that should be composted or chipped rather than landfilled.

Cost & conditions
The district publishes the events and their dates without a fee, so confirm the current schedule, the accepted material and any charge with the Metro District before loading a vehicle.
Arrange it
Check the Metro District calendar for the next yard waste composting and tree recycling drop-off, published with a start and end time, and bring the material during that window.

These events cover yard and tree material rather than household bulky items, and Christmas tree collection is seasonal, so plan around the published dates.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Self-hauling in Highlands Ranch means dealing with three separate routes rather than one transfer station. Household bulky material, including furniture, mattresses, water heaters, washers and dryers, goes through the private hauler that collects the address, and the hauler states that availability, accepted items and prices vary by location and asks for the pickup date to be confirmed before anything is placed at the curb. Hazardous products go through the Douglas County Health household hazardous waste program that Highlands Ranch Water sponsors: Waste Management comes to the door for one appointment per household per calendar year, a co-payment applies to the pickup, and the county holds the accepted and non-accepted item lists along with the scheduling. Yard and tree material has the Metro District's own events, including a yard waste composting and tree recycling drop-off published on the district calendar, with tree, limb and Christmas tree recycling programs run through the year. Renovation debris is a container ordered from a hauler, and the prices depend on the container size, the tonnage allowance and the material. Nothing in Highlands Ranch takes household paint, batteries or propane tanks at the curb, and the community association's opt-in program covers carts and recycling rather than hazardous or construction material.

A few things
worth knowing.

Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Highlands Ranch.

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Highlands Ranch?

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?

No. Count the filled bags or boxes using the matching choice. 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.
