Here they are again this morning, dependable as always. They tend to come the same time every week which is also a consistency I appreciate. We switched to this company several years ago after having 2 other companies that would skip pick-up or quit showing up without notice. I'm really grateful for the professionalism of the employees and overall company.

I switched to Western Disposal for my residential cleanup maybe a year and a half ago, and I'm so glad I did. They are always on time, they never miss my trash or recycling, and they are very communicative. Prior to Western, I had been cycling through one horrible company after another. If they offer pickup in your area, you should for sure choose them.

Questions & Answers

What can we drop off at this place?

Kimberlee Smith | Nov 4, 2018
Jay Jay Tangible Duality | Nov 4, 2019

Just about anything that has no further use. No hazardous waste, or televisions. But try Ecocyle first for recycling things like metal, electronics, or compost.

To clarify, Western Disposal only accepts material that can legally be disposed of at the landfill. Railroad ties ARE accepted at the landfill so Western Disposal does accept them for disposal.

Is there a free compost pick up this spring

Lj Hamilton | Nov 4, 2019
Western Disposal Administration Building | Nov 4, 2019

HI LJ: We discontinued our free compost giveaways as of May 2017 because we no longer process organics into compost here at our facility. We grind the organics we collect and transport it out to A1 Organics in Keenesburg to be processed into compost. We still carry compost (from A1 and Colorado Materials) but because we have to purchase it from those vendors we no longer give it away.

Hey John: As a follow up to my response a few days ago, EcoCycle is actually holding tours in April that will cover the topic of where recycling is going. If you have access to facebook you can see the event announcement here: https://www.facebook.com/ecocycle.zerowaste/photos/gm.327820487868412/10156904915615822/?type=3&theater If not give them a call.

Can we bring old scooter (49 cc) to recycle ?

Bisheswor K C | Nov 4, 2018
Jay Jay Tangible Duality | Nov 4, 2019

To recycle it would be best to try Resource Central or Ecocycle located at 6400 Arapahoe first (but make sure you remove the gas and oil which can be disposed of at Household Hazardous locates on 63rd behind Boulders Recycling Center)

Can gift wrap go in single stream recycling?

Ola Persson | Nov 4, 2018
Robin Pannell | Nov 4, 2018

Trash it. Unless you pull off every single piece of tape, it does not go in recycle. It cannot be metallic either. Republic sent guidelines out in a letter on this. I wonder why Western did not give you info on this.

Is Western picking up xmas trees again in the Gunbarrel area; and if so, what is the time frame. Thank you.

Judy Falco | Nov 4, 2018
Lenny Greb | Nov 4, 2018

Cleaned dumpsters is all I did , sorry.
