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.

Bulk item pickup and the county large item voucher
Accepted with preparation
Waste Connections takes a bulk item such as furniture or carpet for a published charge per item with 48 hours notice, and Weld County issues a free voucher for one landfill trip up to one ton for large items like mattresses, couches and tables.
City cost & eligibility
From $15 for the published bulk item pickup charge for one item. The town lists bulk item pick up at 15.00 per item and says to call Waste Connections customer service to schedule, with at least 48 hours notice and possibly additional charges. The county voucher is a separate free option: one truckload level with the bed rails or one trailer load, up to one ton, at the North Weld, Buffalo Ridge or Front Range landfill, with anything heavier billed by the landfill. The voucher program runs from March 2 to October 31, 2026.
When & how
Call Waste Connections at 303-288-2100 at least 48 hours before the collection day to schedule a bulk item, or collect a voucher from a county household hazardous waste facility or the county health department in Greeley and make one landfill trip during the voucher window.
Get it ready
Keep trash and yard waste out of the pile and out of the cart lid, because the hauler will not take an overloaded tote, and leave at least two feet around the containers with no vehicle parked within ten feet on service day. Prohibited material in the carts includes motor oil, tires, batteries, herbicides, pesticides, acids, dirt, sod, brick, concrete, rock, hot ashes and flammable liquids.
Furniture is one of the items the town tells residents to schedule as a bulk item pickup, and a couch or table is also named in the county large item voucher.
City cost & eligibility
From $15 for the published bulk item pickup charge for one item. Furniture and carpet are the examples the town gives for a scheduled bulk item pickup at 15.00 per item, and the county voucher names couches and tables among the large items a resident can take to a Weld County landfill free of charge on one trip of up to one ton.
When & how
Call Waste Connections at 303-288-2100 at least 48 hours ahead to schedule the pickup, or take a voucher load to the landfill during the voucher window.
Get it ready
Do not put furniture in or on top of the trash cart, because the hauler refuses an overloaded tote, and leave room around the containers on the service day with nothing parked within ten feet. Ask what the hauler counts as one item before setting out a sectional or a group of pieces.
A mattress goes out as a scheduled bulk item at the published per item charge, and the county large item voucher names mattresses as an eligible free load.
City cost & eligibility
From $15 for the published bulk item pickup charge for one item. A mattress scheduled through Waste Connections is charged as a bulk item at 15.00 with 48 hours notice, and a mattress taken to a Weld County landfill with the free large item voucher costs nothing on the trip as long as the load stays within one truckload or trailer load of up to one ton.
When & how
Call 303-288-2100 at least 48 hours before the collection day, or use the county voucher for one landfill trip between March 2 and October 31, 2026.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress out of the cart and off the lid, keep it dry, and count it as one bulk item unless the hauler says otherwise. A mattress store that delivers a new mattress may also haul the old one away, which is the shortest route.
The county names appliance and scrap metal services rather than a municipal appliance collection, and an appliance with Freon may need its coolant removed by a certified technician first.
City cost & eligibility
No municipal rate covers an appliance in Johnstown. Weld County lists TakeMyAppliance, Andersen's Sales and Salvage and Iron Ridge Auto and Metal as appliance disposal options and warns that an appliance containing Freon may need the coolant professionally removed by a certified technician before a scrap yard will accept it, so call the facility for its current terms and price.
When & how
Call the appliance or scrap service before loading a unit, and ask specifically about refrigerant removal for a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner.
Get it ready
Drain and clean the unit, keep it out of the trash cart, and expect a refrigerant unit to require a certified coolant removal step before it can be scrapped. A working appliance is worth offering for reuse before it is scrapped.
The county does not run a household electronics drop off and points residents at a state list of certified electronics recyclers, so the route is a recycler rather than a municipal counter.
City cost & eligibility
No town or county facility in the retrieved pages publishes an electronics rate, because Weld County routes electronic waste to certified electronics recyclers on the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment list and offers its program line at 970-400-2217 for help finding one, so the recycler sets the charge.
When & how
Find a certified electronics recycler through the state list or by calling the county program line at 970-400-2217, and ask about the drop off days before loading a television or monitor.
Get it ready
Keep electronics out of the trash cart, because the cart rules prohibit hazardous and prohibited waste and televisions and monitors are not accepted curbside. Wipe personal data before a computer or drive leaves your hands, and ask whether the recycler charges by the piece or by weight.
Heavy material such as dirt, sod, brick, concrete or rock is prohibited in the cart, so a project load needs a landfill trip on the county voucher or a private roll off container.
City cost & eligibility
There is no municipal construction collection. The county large item voucher covers one truckload level with the bed rails or one trailer load of up to one ton at the North Weld, Buffalo Ridge or Front Range landfill at no charge between March 2 and October 31, 2026, and any additional weight or volume is billed to the resident at the landfill gate, so ask the landfill for its per ton figure or price a private roll off container for a larger project.
When & how
Collect a voucher from a county household hazardous waste facility or the county health department in Greeley, then make one trip during the voucher window, or order a private container before the project starts.
Get it ready
Keep dirt, sod, brick, concrete and rock out of the trash cart entirely, because the cart rules prohibit them. Ask the landfill what it accepts and what it charges per ton before a heavier load arrives, and keep clean material separated so it can be diverted rather than buried.
Tires are prohibited in the trash cart and no town or county tire collection is published, so the route is a tire retailer or a paid landfill load.
City cost & eligibility
The town prohibits tires in the cart and publishes no tire collection, and the county household hazardous waste program does not list a tire drop off, so the charge comes from the tire retailer that takes the tire or from the landfill gate rate on a voucher load.
When & how
Ask the tire shop that sells or mounts tires about a take back, and do not set tires out for the weekly trash route.
Get it ready
Keep tires out of the cart and off the curb, because a prohibited item left in the tote can stop the whole cart from being emptied. Ask the landfill whether it takes tires and at what rate before adding them to a voucher load.
Exercise equipment is not named by the town or the county, so it has to be confirmed with Waste Connections as a possible bulk item.
City cost & eligibility
No published rate covers an exercise machine and the town does not name the category, so call Waste Connections at 303-288-2100 to ask whether it will take the machine as a bulk item at the published per item charge and what it counts as one item before setting anything out.
When & how
Call 303-288-2100 at least 48 hours before the collection day, and only set the machine out once the hauler confirms it.
Get it ready
Take the machine down as far as it will come apart and keep the loose weights with it. A frame that fits the bulk item definition is the best case, so ask before booking and keep it out of the trash cart.
A couch, mattress, table or piece of carpet is a bulk item that has to be scheduled with Waste Connections at least 48 hours before the collection day, and the town publishes a per item charge for it. The alternative is the free Weld County large item voucher for one landfill trip of up to one ton, collected from a county hazardous waste facility or the county health department in Greeley.
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.

Cost & conditions
From $15 for the published bulk item pickup charge for one item.

Arrange it
Call Waste Connections customer service at 303-288-2100 at least 48 hours before the collection day, then set the item out as the hauler directs.

A household with a mattress, a couch, a table, an appliance sized item or a heavy load that it can drive to a landfill in one trip.
Cost & conditions
No charge. The voucher covers one truckload level with the bed rails or one trailer load up to one ton at no charge, and any additional weight or volume is billed to the resident at the landfill gate. The program runs from March 2 to October 31, 2026 and vouchers are limited.

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.

Through an appliance or scrap metal service, because the county names TakeMyAppliance, Andersen's Sales and Salvage and Iron Ridge Auto and Metal rather than a municipal collection.

Not in the trash cart, because dirt, sod, brick, concrete and rock are prohibited there.
