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.

The city runs one free large item drop off day a year at Anderson Park, with a five item limit per household and a residency check.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The drop off day is free to Wheat Ridge households with proof of residency through a current utility bill or a government issued photo identification showing the current address, and the limit is five items per household. Residents unload their own items, the site closes promptly at the published time with no late entry, and the program may be delayed or canceled in inclement weather.
When & how
The next published date is Saturday, May 15, 2027 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Anderson Park on 44th Avenue at Field Street, so plan for extended wait times and arrive before the close.
Get it ready
Bring the load inside the five item limit, remove the propane tank from a gas grill, disassemble a swing set, and cut carpet into no more than five bundles each under five feet. Smaller material that is accepted has to be securely bagged, and anything on the refusal list is turned away at the gate.
Furniture is the first item on the city's acceptable list for the free annual drop off day, inside the five item limit.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Furniture is accepted free of charge at the annual drop off day by a Wheat Ridge household with proof of residency, and each piece counts inside the five item limit.
When & how
Bring furniture to Anderson Park on the published date between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. and plan to unload it yourself into the container the city staff point you to.
Get it ready
Count each piece inside the five item limit, keep anything with a lithium battery or a refrigerant out of the load, and offer a usable piece for donation first if a local charity will take it, because the drop off day is a disposal route rather than a reuse route.
Beds are accepted at the annual drop off day as a mattress, a box spring and a frame, each counting toward the five item limit.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. A mattress, box spring or frame is accepted free of charge by a Wheat Ridge household with proof of residency, with each piece counted inside the five item limit for the day.
When & how
Take the bedding to Anderson Park between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. on the published date, with no late entry after the close.
Get it ready
Count the mattress, the box spring and the frame separately inside the five item limit, keep the pieces dry, and have the load ready to unload yourself, because residents unload their own items at the drop off day.
Washers, dryers, stoves, ovens, dishwashers, water heaters, sinks, toilets and bathtubs are accepted, while anything with Freon and a microwave oven are refused.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The listed appliances and fixtures are accepted free of charge at the annual drop off day inside the five item limit, while a refrigerator, freezer or other appliance containing Freon and a microwave oven are on the city's refusal list and have to go to a scrap or retail route instead.
When & how
Bring the appliance to Anderson Park on the published date between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m., and keep a refrigerant unit out of the load entirely.
Get it ready
Empty the appliance and keep it upright on the trip. A unit with Freon cannot be accepted, so ask a scrap metal recycling location or the retailer about a refrigerant appliance rather than loading it for the city day, and remember that a lithium battery item such as a cordless vacuum is refused as well.
Televisions, monitors, computers and laptops are refused at the city drop off day and go to the Rooney Road Recycling Center, which takes anything with a cord at a per pound charge.
City cost & eligibility
From $1.91 for the per pound charge for electronic waste at the Rooney Road Recycling Center. Electronic waste is charged 1.91 per pound, and a television is charged the same per pound rate with a maximum of 203.35 each, while hard drives are destroyed securely by a certified recycler. A load that also contains household hazardous waste pays the general co-pay for the first 75 pounds for a Jefferson County resident and 2.03 per pound after that, and paint products, automotive batteries, motor oil and one pound propane cylinders are free.
When & how
Book an appointment at Rooney Road for a Wednesday or Saturday between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m., and keep the device out of the city drop off day load because televisions, monitors, computers and laptops are all refused there.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data or remove the hard drive before recycling a computer, and remember that an item with a lithium battery is refused at the city drop off day as well, so a cordless vacuum or a motorized toy goes to the electronics route rather than to Anderson Park.
Construction debris and heavy material are refused at the city drop off day, and the county hazardous waste center takes no organic or yard material either, so a project load needs a private hauler or a licensed facility.
City cost & eligibility
There is no municipal construction route in Wheat Ridge. The city refuses construction debris, gravel, asphalt, rock, sod, dirt, concrete, brick, pavers and roofing material at the annual drop off day, and the county center states that it has no organic recycling, so a project load has to be priced with a private hauler or a licensed facility.
When & how
Order a private container or arrange a haul before the project generates debris, and keep the material out of the annual drop off load.
Get it ready
Separate clean concrete, asphalt and rock from mixed debris so a facility can take it, and keep branches, leaves and other yard material out of the construction pile, because the county center does not take organic material and the city event refuses it.
Tires are refused at the city drop off day and at the county center, which refers them to local tire retailers.
City cost & eligibility
No municipal tire collection exists for Wheat Ridge. The city refuses tires at the annual drop off day, and Rooney Road refuses tires and refers residents to local tire retailers such as Go Green Tires or Discount Tires, so the retailer that takes the tire sets the charge.
When & how
Ask the tire shop that sells or mounts tires about a take back or drop off, and keep tires out of the city drop off load.
Get it ready
Leave tires off the city load and out of the household cart, because a refused item is turned away at the gate or left behind. Ask the retailer about a limit per visit before loading the vehicle.
Exercise bikes and treadmills are named on the city's acceptable list for the free annual drop off day.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. An exercise bike or a treadmill is accepted free of charge at the annual drop off day, counted inside the five item limit for the household, while other fitness machines are not named on either list and should be confirmed with the city.
When & how
Bring the machine to Anderson Park on the published date between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. and unload it yourself, and call the city first if the machine is not a bike or a treadmill.
Get it ready
Take the machine down as far as it will come apart and keep the loose weights with it. Anything with a lithium battery is refused, so remove and keep any battery pack out of the load.
The annual drop off is five items, self unloaded, with proof of residency
At the annual large item drop off day a household brings proof of residency, is limited to five items, and unloads its own material into the container city staff direct it to. The site closes promptly at the published time with no late entry, wait times can be long, and the event may be delayed or canceled in bad weather.
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.
