El Paso County requires trash and recycling containers be stored out of public view between collection days. Containers may be placed curbside evening before pickup and must be retrieved same day. Bear-resistant containers required in designated bear areas.

Bins must have closed lids and not be overflowing.

Waste haulers serving the county include Waste Management, Republic Services (Bestway), Springs Waste Systems, and Bailey's Trash Service — each has service-area-specific rules.
