The Town of Castle Rock does not provide trash or recycling collection. Residents in an HOA may receive service through the association, while everyone else must contract directly with a private hauler such as Waste Management or a local trash company.
Unlike some Colorado municipalities, Castle Rock leaves solid-waste collection to the private market. The Town states "The Town does not provide trash removal or recycling services." Neighborhoods with a homeowners association may arrange collection through the HOA; residents outside an HOA must obtain individual service and set their own pickup schedule with the chosen hauler. Because service is private, day-of-week schedules vary by hauler and route rather than by a Town ordinance. Container placement is still governed by Town property standards — bins at the curb no more than 24 hours. See the Town's Other Services page for a list of area providers.
There is no Town pickup ordinance to violate; enforcement focuses on container placement and rubbish accumulation under the property-maintenance standards.
