Trash 101

A Waste Resource Guide From Rocky Mountain Sanitation

How should you dispose of old appliances, automotive oil or even large tree branches and old tires? What about leftover paint and old furniture from your home remodel? These and other unusual household waste items can't be hauled away with your every day trash. So, what are your options?

Because we receive many inquiries about what can and cannot be picked up at your curbside, Rocky Mountain Sanitation has developed this guide, Trash 101. This guide also takes the guess work out of understanding holiday trash removal schedules and hours of operation for area recycling, solid waste and landfill services.
