For bulk items in unincorporated Jefferson County, arrange a special/bulk pickup with your private hauler or self-haul to a landfill or the Rooney Road Recycling Center. Household hazardous waste and electronics go to Rooney Road at a discounted rate for Jeffco residents.
The county provides no bulk-collection utility. Large items (furniture, appliances, mattresses) are handled by scheduling an extra pickup with your private hauler or hauling them yourself to a permitted landfill or recycler. The Rooney Road Recycling Center (151 S. Rooney Rd., Golden), a Jefferson County-supported facility, accepts household hazardous waste and electronics by appointment on Wednesdays and Saturdays; Jeffco residents get a 75% discount, paying $30 for the first 75 pounds, then $1.75/lb. Appliances, yard waste and scrap metal are taken by various private recyclers listed in the county's resource directory.
Dumping bulky items on public or private land instead of proper disposal is littering under CRS 18-4-511 (mandatory fine $20-$500 for a first offense) and can trigger county nuisance abatement under CRS 30-15-401.
