Arapahoe County trash collection is not a county service in unincorporated areas—residents contract directly with private haulers (Waste Management, Republic Services, GFL, A-1 Organics). Aurora operates through competitive private contracts. Centennial uses PAYT-style tiered bins.
Unlike most Colorado counties, Arapahoe County does not provide municipal trash collection in unincorporated areas—residents individually subscribe with licensed haulers including Waste Management (WM), Republic Services, GFL Environmental, and Alpine Waste/Waste Connections. Weekly curbside collection is standard. Aurora residents choose from city-licensed haulers (WM, Republic, GFL, Alpine) under Aurora City Code Chapter 138, with bin-out times typically 6 AM to 7 AM on scheduled pickup days. Centennial uses a unified service contract with Waste Management providing weekly trash, bi-weekly recycling, and seasonal yard waste (April-November). Littleton and Englewood use similar franchised or licensed hauler systems. Holiday delays apply for New Year's Day, Memorial Day, July 4, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas—pickup generally shifts one day later. Contaminated recycling bins may be skipped. Oversize or overweight bins (typically over 60 lbs) will not be collected.
Bin rule violations: $50 to $200 code enforcement citation after warning. Illegal dumping: $500 to $5,000 plus cleanup costs. Operating as an unlicensed hauler: $1,000+ per occurrence.
