Arapahoe County bulk disposal varies by hauler. Aurora residents get two free bulk pickups per year through licensed haulers. Centennial offers scheduled bulk service via Waste Management. The Arapahoe County Fairgrounds hosts Tox-Away Days for HHW. Construction debris excluded.
Bulk item disposal in Arapahoe County is handled through hauler contracts rather than county service. Aurora City Code §138 requires licensed haulers to provide at least two free bulk pickups per year per customer, including furniture, mattresses, and large appliances (refrigerators, washers) with refrigerant certified removed by a licensed technician. Centennial's Waste Management contract provides scheduled bulk collection on appointment basis. Electronics, paint, batteries, automotive fluids, and hazardous materials are excluded and must go to Arapahoe County Tox-Away Days at the fairgrounds in Aurora (typically 2-3 times annually) or permanent drop-off facilities like the Denver Metro HHW Facility and Waste Management Englewood. Colorado Electronics Recycling Law C.R.S. §25-17-301 prohibits landfill disposal of TVs, monitors, and computers. Construction debris (drywall, lumber, shingles) is excluded from residential bulk pickup—requires a separate dumpster rental or trip to the Arapahoe County Landfill (Tower Road).
Illegal dumping: $500 to $5,000 under Aurora City Code §138-202 and county nuisance ordinance. Placing bulk out early: $50 to $200. Putting electronics in trash: up to $1,000 per C.R.S. §25-17-301.
