Westminster, CO Trash & Recycling: Collection Schedule (2026)

" This locks every part of Westminster to a fixed weekly pickup day rather than letting each hauler set its own route schedule, and it dovetails with the recycling requirement in Section 5-7-8(E)(1), which ties curbside recycling to the same day as the resident's trash pickup. The City Manager may grant exceptions to the fixed schedule for holidays, severe weather, or when a customer's pickup was inadvertently missed, under Section 5-7-10(B), giving haulers a narrow window to catch up service without violating the designated-day rule.

00 annual vehicle fee under Section 5-7-5, may operate in the City at all, and licensed vehicles must display the company name in letters at least three inches tall on both sides under Section 5-7-11, making it possible for residents and code enforcement to identify who is collecting on which day. Records of the designated collection days for each area are set by the City Manager rather than fixed in the code itself, so residents confirm their specific day through the City rather than by reading a citywide schedule in the ordinance.
