Summary
Castle Rock has no Town bulk-item pickup; residents use their private hauler or a junk-removal service. The Douglas County Slash/Mulch site accepts tree limbs and brush up to 6 feet long and 12 inches in diameter, and household hazardous waste is handled through a county program.
Acceptable items include tree limbs, branches, shrubs and brush with a maximum length of 6 feet and a maximum diameter of 12 inches.
Full Breakdown
Because the Town does not run collection, bulk disposal is arranged privately. For yard debris, the Douglas County Slash/Mulch site accepts "tree limbs, branches, shrubs and brush with a maximum length of 6 feet and a maximum diameter of 12 inches," open Saturdays roughly May through October. Household hazardous waste is handled through the Douglas County Household Hazardous Waste Collection Program (one collection appointment per calendar year, $30 fee). Electronics can be dropped for free recycling. Large furniture and junk require a private hauler or junk-removal company. Christmas trees are recycled at several Castle Rock sites in late December and January.
Violations & Fines
There is no bulk-pickup ordinance; dumping bulk items on public property or another lot is enforced as illegal dumping and property blight.
