• Electronics (without glass screens)
• Appliances

* A fee will be charged for appliances containing Freon ($20 each)

Items Not Accepted:

• Routine household trash
• Hazardous materials

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, anyone participating in the event is required to wear a proper face mask and observe social distancing of six feet while at the drop-off site. Individuals not wearing a mask will be turned away. 

The city will offer limited special collection services when personnel and equipment are available. Fees for this service begin at $15, plus equipment and labor. Call 970.240.1480 to schedule or for additional information.
