Thornton residents may drop appliances such as refrigerators, dishwashers and water heaters at the Infrastructure Maintenance Center on weekdays, and appliances are also eligible in a Click and Haul collection.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes the appliance drop-off at the Infrastructure Maintenance Center and its gate instructions but no fee for it, so confirm any charge with Environmental Services at 720-977-6200. A Click and Haul collection for appliances is priced at $72 for six cubic yards.
When & how
Drive to the Infrastructure Maintenance Center at 12450 Washington St. on a weekday between 7:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., entering through the north gate at 126th Ave. and Ogden St., and press the Infrastructure button on the call box, or schedule a Click and Haul collection instead.
Get it ready
Empty the unit, secure the doors and keep the appliance out of the black and green carts and out of the recycling drop-offs, which refuse appliances. Only Thornton residents may use the drop-off, and commercial or landscaping companies are not allowed.
The recycling drop-off bins at the Municipal Service Center and the Infrastructure Maintenance Center take household recyclables only and refuse plastic bags, scrap metal, electronics, appliances, construction debris, textiles, yard waste and liquids. The Infrastructure Maintenance Center takes appliances, motor oil and antifreeze in sealed containers up to four gallons and organic material in three gallon compostable bags, and it refuses paint, televisions, furniture and general trash debris, and it serves Thornton residents only, never commercial or landscaping companies.
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.

A Thornton household with paint, cleaners, chemicals or other household hazardous waste that cannot go in a cart or a Click and Haul pile.
Cost & conditions
The city provides a voucher worth the $30 Veolia facility fee only, and the resident agrees to pay the per pound fee on top, so the total depends on what is brought and is confirmed with Veolia when the appointment is made.
Arrange it
Email environmentalservices@ThorntonCO.gov with your name and address and the subject line VEOLIA VOUCHER REQUEST, then book an appointment with Veolia at its facility, 9131 E. 96th Ave. in Henderson, online or at 303-526-8155. One voucher is allowed per household per year, and the printed voucher must be handed to the attendant.
Appointments are available on Wednesdays and Saturdays only, the voucher covers the facility fee and not the per pound charge, and acceptable materials are set by Veolia.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Thornton.
How much does appliance removal cost in Thornton?+
A full-size household refrigerator is $109 as a single item. A washing machine is $109, and a dryer is $109. Other appliances have their own catalog prices. Choose each item to see your exact total before booking; disposal and recycling costs are included in the item price.
Can I get same-day appliance pickup in Thornton?+
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, where available. Checkout shows the dates you can choose. Your pickup is scheduled for a day rather than an exact arrival appointment, and we text you before arrival. Have the appliance disconnected and ready outside by your pickup readiness time.
Can you take a washing machine and dryer in one pickup?+
Yes. Add one Washing machine and one Dryer so both units are included in the price. They are separate items, even when you bought them as a set. If yours is a single combined unit or the machines still need to be unstacked, contact us before booking to confirm the scope.
Will you disconnect my appliance or carry it out?+
Dropcurb picks up appliances that are already disconnected and accessible outside at ground level. Arrange uninstallation, utility disconnection and indoor carrying before pickup. Use a qualified professional for gas, hardwired or plumbing connections when needed. We handle loading and haul-away from the outdoor pickup spot.
Can I book if the delivery company did not take my old appliance?+
Yes. Dropcurb pickup is separate from buying or installing a replacement, so you can book removal on its own. Select the old appliance, choose a pickup day and arrange for it to be disconnected and accessible outside. If your new delivery is still ahead, confirm the retailer’s haul-away arrangements before booking a separate pickup.
Can I drop off a refrigerator in Thornton?+
Yes. The city lists appliances such as refrigerators, dishwashers and water heaters among what Thornton residents may drop at the Infrastructure Maintenance Center at 12450 Washington St. on weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., entering through the north gate at 126th Ave. and Ogden St. The city publishes no fee for that drop-off, so confirm any charge at 720-977-6200, and note that a refrigerator can also go out on a Click and Haul collection.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Thornton?+
The City of Thornton runs the collection itself and bills it on the water bill, so questions go to Environmental Services at 720-977-6200 or environmentalservices@ThorntonCO.gov rather than to a private hauler. One black container is collected weekly with recycling every other week, extra containers cost more each month, and collection is delayed one day on New Year's Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.Official guidance
Where do Thornton paint, chemicals and batteries go?+
Paint, cleaning products and other household chemicals cannot go in a cart or in a Click and Haul pile, so they go to Veolia's hazardous waste facility at 9131 E. 96th Ave. in Henderson by appointment. Thornton residents can email environmentalservices@ThorntonCO.gov with the subject VEOLIA VOUCHER REQUEST to get one voucher per household per year worth the facility fee, while the per pound charge is paid at the facility. Motor oil and antifreeze up to four gallons in sealed containers can be left at the Infrastructure Maintenance Center, and household, lithium and specialty batteries go to Batteries Plus.Official guidance
What do I do with items too big for the black container?+
Use Click and Haul, the city collection for large items. It costs a per collection price for six cubic yards, which the city describes as two normal pickup truck loads, with more than two full loads priced higher, billed on the next utility bill. Schedule it with Environmental Services at 720-977-6200 and put the load on the street by 7 a.m. on the collection day, no earlier than 24 hours before. Furniture, appliances, mattresses, hot water heaters, fence panels, branches, remodeling debris and evaporative coolers are eligible, and electronics, tires, concrete, hazardous material, dirt, sod and rocks are not.Official guidance
