Unincorporated Weld County has no municipal trash route; residents hire a private hauler or self-haul to a licensed landfill. In Greeley, only PUC-authorized, city-licensed haulers may collect refuse, and residents may still haul their own waste.
Weld County does not provide a single garbage service for the unincorporated area, so residents contract with a private hauler of their choice or self-haul to a licensed facility such as the North Weld Landfill. Home-rule Greeley regulates collection tightly: under the environmental sanitation code, the city (through its licensed operators) is the sole agency for collecting and disposing of refuse, and no one may collect refuse within the city without first holding Colorado Public Utilities Commission authority and registering it with the city, except a resident hauling their own waste. Licensed haulers must use packer trucks or covered vehicles and file vehicle descriptions with the finance director.
Operating as a refuse hauler in Greeley without the required PUC authority and city license, or during a license suspension, is unlawful under Section 8-373 and prosecuted under Title 1, Chapter 10.
