Large items like mattresses, appliances, furniture, electronics, and tires are accepted at the Larimer County Landfill for per-item fees. Mattresses and box springs cost $40 each; appliances with Freon cost $36 each.
The Larimer County Landfill at 5887 South Taft Hill Road accepts bulky and special wastes for a fee under its published 2026 fee schedule. Rates include mattresses/box springs at $40 each, appliances without Freon at $20 each, appliances with Freon at $36 each, and auto/light-truck tires at $7.50 without a rim ($13.50 with rim). General solid waste is $13.25 per cubic yard with a two-cubic-yard minimum. Many bulky items are recycled with no Colorado surcharge. Unincorporated residents self-haul these items, as there is no county bulk-pickup service.
Dumping bulky items on public or private land instead of the landfill is illegal dumping/littering, prosecutable under C.R.S. 18-4-511 and the state Solid Waste Act.
