Most Aurora haulers offer bulk item pickup by appointment for items like furniture and appliances; the city also hosts Keep Aurora Beautiful cleanup events.
Aurora does not provide citywide bulk item pickup; residents must schedule service through their private hauler, typically with 24-72 hours notice and a per-item fee (25 to 75 dollars for furniture, 50 to 150 dollars for appliances with refrigerants). Items accepted include mattresses, couches, chairs, dressers, and major appliances. Construction debris, hazardous materials, and tires are generally excluded. The city sponsors Keep Aurora Beautiful free cleanup events annually where residents can drop off bulk items, and Adams and Arapahoe County hazardous waste roundups handle paint, chemicals, and electronics. Illegal dumping is a criminal violation carrying up to 2,650 dollars in fines.
Specific penalty amounts for this ordinance are not published in a publicly accessible fine schedule. Contact Aurora code enforcement directly for current fines, enforcement procedures, and hearing options.
