Change to Waste Management Trash & Recycling Services: What you need to know

As we reported last month, the Board has opted to continue contracting its waste & recycling services through Waste Management. Although rising slightly, the prices remain far lower than the City’s single hauler system through Republic Services. Additionally, WM has done a good job in our community.

While most currently offered WM services will remain the same, there is one important change for homeowners to be aware of:

For safety and efficiency purposes, Waste Management is changing to a fully-automated system, which means their trucks will do all the lifting and disposing. Beginning with the first trash pickup date in June, Thursday, June 3, ALL trash must be contained within the WM provided trash bin. NO additional trash cans or bags of waste will be accepted.

Residents may order an additional trash bin through WM at the cost of $5 a month. This will need to be arranged by the resident directly with WM by calling customer service at 303-797-1600. The additional cart will be billed directly to the resident.

As previously offered, Bulk Item pick up is also available to residents, and the resident will be billed directly for the service at the time of request.
