Denver, CO

Trash pickup schedule

There is no single day. Denver collection days follow the collection route, not the neighborhood, and two houses on the same street can differ when a route boundary runs between them. Your house number decides it.

Just the street address. We add Denver for you, and we do not store it.

We have a route for 99.8% of addresses the city services. We have not measured how often the day itself is right.

About collection in Denver

Denver collection schedule

Denver collects organics and trash every week, bulk on a rotating cycle and recycling on a schedule that depends on your address.

Holiday schedule changes

When a holiday falls in your collection week, there is no pickup on the holiday and every remaining day that week shifts forward by 1 day. Friday collection moves to Saturday. Denver observes 6 collection-affecting holidays, which is not the same list as the federal calendar. A holiday landing on a weekend is observed on the nearest weekday, so it still moves that week. Checked against the city's own published schedule on August 29, 2026.

Bulk and large item pickup in Denver

Some addresses are on a fixed route day and some are on request. Enter your address and we will tell you which, and how to book if a booking is needed.

Denver recycling schedule

Most of Denver has recycling every other week. Some addresses are weekly. Your address decides which, and which week you are on. It goes out on the same day as your trash for almost every address, though a few streets differ.
