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.

Louisville publishes no citywide bulky item collection, so an oversized item goes to the city scrap metal container, a Boulder County hard-to-recycle or reuse site, or the hauler on the account.
City cost & eligibility
There is no published municipal bulky rate and the city publishes no rate for its scrap metal container, while the Boulder County hard-to-recycle site publishes item charges, and a hauler's own large item service is priced by that hauler, so ask each route before the item is moved.
When & how
Ask Republic at 303-286-5400 what it offers for a large item, or plan a trip to the scrap metal container at Empire Road and State Highway 42 or to the Boulder County sites during their open hours.
Get it ready
Separate the metal from everything else before hauling, because the city container takes only metal and water heaters and refuses furniture, electronics, chemicals, liquids and yard waste on the spot. A mattress, a refrigerant appliance or a television has its own charge at the county hard-to-recycle site.
Furniture is refused at the city scrap metal container, so a usable piece goes to Resource Central for reuse and an unusable piece is priced with the hauler on the account.
City cost & eligibility
Donating furniture in good condition to the reuse center at 6400 Arapahoe Road costs nothing to drop off, and the county directory notes the reuse center can also collect material with the pickup quoted by the organization. An unusable piece has no municipal route, so ask Republic at 303-286-5400 or another licensed hauler for its own price.
When & how
Drop the piece at the reuse center during its open hours, or ask the reuse center at 303-419-5418 about a collection, and call the hauler only if the piece is not fit for reuse.
Get it ready
The city scrap metal container refuses furniture, so do not take a couch or a chair there. Clean the piece and keep it dry so the reuse center can accept it, and confirm that any upholstered item is in resale condition before loading.
A mattress or box spring goes to the Boulder County hard-to-recycle site for a published per unit charge, and the county directory also lists a transfer station that takes them.
City cost & eligibility
From $30 for one mattress or box spring at the hard-to-recycle site. A mattress or box spring is charged 30.00 each, a foam topper 10.00, and a box spring with two or more pieces is charged proportionally as multiple units, all on top of the 3.00 facility fee per vehicle. The county construction and demolition directory also lists Western Disposal at 5880 Butte Mill Rd. as accepting mattresses and box springs without publishing a fee.
When & how
Take the set to 6400 Arapahoe Rd. Monday through Saturday between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., or ask Western Disposal at 303-444-2037 about its transfer station terms.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and free of mold and pests, because the hard-to-recycle site refuses bedding with either. It is also refused at the city scrap metal container, so it has to go to the county site or the transfer station.
Water heaters and metal appliances go into the city scrap metal container, where the city publishes no rate, while a refrigerant appliance carries the county hard-to-recycle site's per unit charge.
City cost & eligibility
From $3 for the facility fee charged for each vehicle entering the hard-to-recycle site. Items that are at least 50 percent metal by weight and free of refrigerant are covered by the facility fee alone, and a refrigerant appliance such as a refrigerator, freezer, air conditioner or dehumidifier is charged 45.00 each on top of it. The city scrap metal container takes water heaters and metal appliances at no charge, and Western Disposal is listed in the county directory as accepting large appliances without a published fee.
When & how
Take a metal appliance or water heater to the city scrap metal container at Empire Road and State Highway 42, or take a refrigerant unit to 6400 Arapahoe Rd. during its open hours.
Get it ready
A refrigerant unit cannot go in the city scrap container, because the container does not accept refrigerant appliances and the county site handles them with a charge and an extraction step. Drain and clean the unit, and remember that pressurized tanks such as propane or helium are refused at the county site even when empty.
Electronics are refused at the city scrap metal container and go to the Boulder County hard-to-recycle site, where computers and phones carry no item fee and screens are charged by weight.
City cost & eligibility
From $3 for the facility fee charged for each vehicle entering the hard-to-recycle site. Computers and mobile phones are covered by the facility fee alone. CRT televisions and monitors are charged 0.69 per pound, flat screen televisions and monitors 0.59 per pound, and small plastic appliances, printers, keyboards, stereos and fax machines 0.59 per pound, with media 3.00 per pound, printer cartridges 1.50 per pound, certified data destruction 12.00 per item, solar panels 1.25 per pound and smoke detectors 13.00 each.
When & how
Take the device to 6400 Arapahoe Rd. Monday through Saturday between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. No appointment is needed, and electronics are paid for at the electronics register.
Get it ready
Electronics are on the city scrap metal container refusal list, so the county site is the route. Wipe personal data or remove the drive before recycling a computer, ask for the certified data destruction service if a certificate is needed, and remember that loose glass components and items with food or liquid residue are refused.
Exercise equipment is not named by the city or by the county facilities, so the machine has to be confirmed before it leaves the property.
City cost & eligibility
No published rate covers an exercise machine. The city container takes metal but refuses furniture and household goods, the county hard-to-recycle site charges by material category rather than by machine, and the hauler on the account prices its own large item service, so call Republic at 303-286-5400 and the county site at 303-444-6634 before moving it.
When & how
Ask the hauler first, then ask the county site whether the machine fits one of its metal or electronic categories, and only then load it.
Get it ready
Take the machine down as far as it will come apart and keep the loose weights with it. A metal frame with no refrigerant and at least half metal by weight is the best case at the county site, and a machine with a large plastic housing or an internal battery may fall into an electronics category with a per pound charge instead.
Louisville publishes no municipal construction collection, so a project load moves through a Boulder County facility, a transfer station or a private container.
City cost & eligibility
No municipal rate covers construction material in Louisville. Reusable building material in good condition can be offered to the reuse center, whose donation terms the county does not publish, so confirm what it takes, while heavy material dropped at the county hard-to-recycle site is charged by weight or per fixture, with ceramics and concrete at 0.10 per pound and a toilet, sink or urinal at 5.00 without fixtures or 25.00 with them. A transfer station or a private container is quoted by the operator, so ask before the load leaves the site.
When & how
Call the receiving facility before the project generates debris, and keep clean material separated so a reuse donation stays possible and the diversion paperwork is straightforward.
Get it ready
The city scrap metal container refuses yard waste, landscaping material, liquids and household garbage, so a mixed construction load cannot go there. Keep lumber, metal, concrete and fixtures apart, and confirm the county destination's hours before hauling a heavy load.
Tires are refused at the city scrap metal container and at the county hard-to-recycle site, which takes bicycle tires only, so the route is a retailer or a paid haul.
City cost & eligibility
No municipal tire collection and no published residential rate exist for Louisville. The city container accepts metals and water heaters only, and the county hard-to-recycle site states plainly that it cannot recycle automotive tires or any tire other than bicycle tires, so the price comes from the tire retailer that takes the tire or from a private hauler.
When & how
Ask the shop that sells or mounts tires about a take back, and do not take an automotive tire to the city container or the county site.
Get it ready
Keep tires out of the curbside carts and out of the city container, and confirm the retailer's charge and any limit per visit before loading the vehicle.
The city container at the RV Dump Station on Empire Road at State Highway 42 takes scrap metal, aluminum, brass, bronze, copper, stainless steel, steel and water heaters, and it is monitored around the clock. It refuses chemicals, electronics, furniture, hazardous waste, household garbage, paint cans, solvents and liquids, and yard or landscaping material, so those loads have to go to the county sites instead.
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.
Republic Services for curbside collection, with the City of Louisville running the scrap metal and yard waste sites and Boulder County running the hard-to-recycle and hazardous waste facilities
Drop metal at the city scrap container
A household with a water heater or metal item such as aluminum, brass, bronze, copper, stainless steel or steel to drop off.
Cost & conditions
The city publishes the accepted metals and the 24 hour video monitoring but no rate for the scrap metal container, so confirm the terms with Louisville Public Works on 303-335-4608 before hauling a load. Refused: chemicals, electronics, furniture, hazardous waste, household garbage, paint cans, solvents and other liquids, and yard or landscaping material.
Arrange it
Drive to the RV Dump Station at Empire Road and State Highway 42, which is also where the city's RV dump station is located.
Metal only, and an appliance with refrigerant is refused, so a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner goes to the county hard-to-recycle site instead. Electronics and furniture have their own routes and should not be left at the container.

Use the Boulder County hard-to-recycle site
A household with a mattress, a refrigerant appliance, a television or monitor, other electronics, concrete, ceramics, a toilet or sink, film plastics or books to divert.
Cost & conditions
From $3 for the facility fee charged for each vehicle entering the site. The facility fee is charged once per vehicle and waived for customers arriving by bicycle. Item charges on top include 45.00 per refrigerant appliance, 30.00 per mattress or box spring, 10.00 per topper, 0.69 per pound for CRT televisions and monitors, 0.59 per pound for flat screen screens, small plastic appliances and miscellaneous electronics, 0.10 per pound for ceramics and concrete, and 5.00 or 25.00 per toilet, sink or urinal depending on fixtures. Computers, mobile phones, scrap metal that is at least half metal and free of refrigerant, books, clothing and film plastics are covered by the facility fee.
Arrange it
Drive to 6400 Arapahoe Rd. Monday through Saturday between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., stop at the window to pay and get directions, and unload in the marked zones.
The site is closed Sunday, refuses automotive tires, pressurized tanks even when empty, moldy or bed bug infested bedding, items with food or liquid residue, biohazards and loose glass components, and requires gas powered equipment to arrive drained of oil and gas.
Donate usable items at the Boulder County reuse center
A household with furniture, a working appliance, cabinets, doors, flooring, windows, tile or salvageable building material in good condition.
Cost & conditions
The county directory lists the reuse center as a drop-off point for donations of new and used building and household material in good condition, but it publishes no donation fee or terms and a collection is quoted by the organization, so confirm what it takes and whether anything is charged on 303-419-5418 before loading.
Arrange it
Drop the items at 6400 Arapahoe Rd., open Monday through Saturday between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., or call 303-419-5418 about a collection.
Only material in good condition is accepted for resale, so a worn out piece has to be priced with a hauler instead. Large appliances are taken for reuse only when they still work.

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?+

Does Louisville have a curbside bulky item pickup?+
