Bulk items are handled by your private hauler's bulk or on-call pickup, or hauled to a landfill or transfer station such as the Sedalia Landfill. Douglas County publishes an A-to-Z disposal guide to route hard-to-toss items.
Because there is no municipal collection, bulk disposal in Douglas County runs through private haulers and drop-off sites. Waste Management and other haulers offer on-call or scheduled bulk pickup for furniture, appliances, and large debris for an added fee. Residents may also self-haul to area facilities, including the Sedalia Landfill operated by Waste Connections, or use transfer stations. Douglas County maintains an A-to-Z Recycle and Disposal Guide directing residents to the right destination for tricky materials such as electronics, appliances, tires, and hazardous waste. Household hazardous waste is routed through the county health department's waste programs rather than curbside carts.
Dumping bulk items on public land, in dumpsters not your own, or along roadways is illegal dumping/littering under Colorado law and county nuisance rules.
