The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Durango collects garbage and recycling itself inside city limits, and its Streets Division adds three scheduled routes for material that will not fit a cart. A household can book a bulk pickup on the first or third Thursday of the month with 24 hours notice, paying a set price per ten cubic yard truckload and a smaller charge for each appliance, and the same load can take furniture, scrap metal, drywall, fencing, carpeting, tiles, dried paint cans, trimmed branches and bagged brush. Twice a year the city widens that allowance into a Spring and Fall Cleanup, where furniture, mattresses, appliances without refrigerants, remodelling debris and yard material all go out in separate piles for eligible households that pay the cleanup fee on their utility bill, with the autumn event taking yard material only. Electronics and batteries are banned from Colorado landfill trash, so they go to the Recycle Center on Tech Center Drive on Saturdays, where the city charges by the item and asks larger loads to book a Friday morning appointment with an inventory.
Furniture is on the bulk pickup list and is also accepted, along with mattresses, during the Spring Cleanup.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. City of Durango single family homes inside city limits for the bulk route, where the fee is charged per truckload and the furniture itself carries no separate charge; the Spring Cleanup accepts furniture and mattresses from households that pay the cleanup fee on their utility bill.
When & how
Book the bulk pickup with the Streets Division so it lands on the first or third Thursday of the month, giving 24 hours notice by the Wednesday morning before, or set the furniture out during the Spring Cleanup window that runs from March 30 to April 30 in 2026.
Get it ready
Put nothing out until the night before a scheduled pickup because unscheduled items may draw a code enforcement ticket, place the pile on the pavement outside the kerb and clear of gas meters, fences, lawns, sidewalks, greenbelt and driveways, keep every piece 8 feet or less in length, and separate furniture from yard waste, scrap metal and landfill refuse.
Appliances are accepted on the bulk route for a per appliance charge, but a unit still holding refrigerant has to have the refrigerant professionally removed and be tagged before it will be taken.
City cost & eligibility
From $10 per appliance on the bulk pickup in addition to the $175 per ten cubic yard truckload charge, with the unit required to have its refrigerant or Freon removed by a licensed business and be tagged as safe. City of Durango single family homes inside city limits; the Spring Cleanup also accepts large appliances but specifically excludes refrigerators and air conditioning units, and unattended refrigerant units are refused on both routes.
When & how
Book the bulk pickup for the first or third Thursday with 24 hours notice, or set appliances out during the Spring Cleanup, and arrange the refrigerant work with a licensed business before the unit goes out.
Get it ready
Have the refrigerant or Freon removed by a licensed business and the appliance tagged as safe, empty and clean the unit, secure or remove the doors, and keep an untreated refrigerant unit off both routes because the bulk page lists appliances or equipment with refrigerants as not collected.
Electronics and batteries go to the Recycle Center on Saturdays, with published per item fees and a state law banning them from landfill trash.
City cost & eligibility
From $1 per item at the Recycle Center, from $1 for small office and handheld electronics up to $35 for large office equipment, with $15 for a monitor, laptop, cathode ray tube or television up to 27 inches, $25 for larger televisions, $5 for computers, printers and consumer electronics and $2 per pound for household batteries. Businesses, residents, government agencies and schools dropping off at the Recycle Center at 710 Tech Center Drive on Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., with up to six large items per visit; larger loads need a Friday morning appointment on (970) 375-5004 with a completed inventory.
When & how
Take the devices to the Recycle Center at 710 Tech Center Drive on a Saturday between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., or book a Friday morning appointment with an inventory if the load has more than six large items or more than fifteen items in total.
Get it ready
Wipe stored data from computers and drives, count the items before arrival because the six large item and fifteen item limits trigger the appointment requirement, and keep electronics and batteries out of the bulk pickup and out of the trash because Colorado law bans most electronic waste from landfill disposal.
Bulk pickup is a booked service on the first and third Thursdays, priced per ten cubic yard truckload with a per appliance charge added.
City cost & eligibility
From $175 per ten cubic yard truckload, plus $10 per appliance and with the fee payable when the pickup is scheduled. Single family residential homes inside Durango city limits; commercial properties do not qualify, and the Streets Division does not schedule bulk pickups during the annual fall and spring cleanups.
When & how
Give the Streets Division 24 hours notice, which means booking by the Wednesday morning before, and schedule the pickup for the first or third Thursday of the month when weather permits, using the city's online scheduling and payment page or calling 970-375-4833.
Get it ready
Place the items on the pavement outside the kerb, keep them clear of gas meters, fences, lawns, sidewalks, greenbelt and driveways so the crew can reach them, keep everything 8 feet or less in length, and keep refused material out: rocks, concrete, dirt, sod, bricks, hazardous or industrial material, electronics, batteries, tires and untreated refrigerant units.
Yard material rides the bulk pickup and the twice yearly cleanups, with branches cut under the size limit and leaves bagged.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. City of Durango households, with yard material collected as part of a booked bulk truckload or during the spring and fall cleanups, which are paid for by the cleanup fee eligible households pay on their utility bill.
When & how
Include trimmed branches and bagged brush in a booked bulk pickup, or set them out during the Spring Cleanup from March 30 to April 30 or the Fall Cleanup, following the neighbourhood map for the pickup week.
Get it ready
Keep branches under 8 feet long and 8 inches in diameter, leave tree trimmings unbagged in the fall while leaves, pine needles and brush go in bags, use paper bags where composting is wanted because plastic bags go to the landfill, separate yard material from furniture, scrap metal and landfill refuse, secure anything loose so it does not blow away, and keep the material two feet from fences, trees and bushes and away from gas meters, fire hydrants and overhead wires.
The Streets Division schedules bulk pickup on the first and third Thursdays of the month only, weather permitting, and a household has to give 24 hours notice by the Wednesday morning before. The price is a set amount per ten cubic yard truckload plus a charge for each appliance, scheduled and paid through the city's online payment page or by calling 970-375-4833. The service covers single family homes inside city limits and commercial properties are excluded, and it pauses during the annual spring and fall cleanups. Items are not to go out until the night before the pickup, because items left out without a scheduled pickup may draw a written ticket from code enforcement.
The spring cleanup widens the list, the autumn one narrows it
Spring Cleanup runs from March 30 to April 30 in 2026 with a map for each neighbourhood's pickup week, and it takes furniture and mattresses, large appliances without refrigerators or air conditioning units, scrap metal, drywall, carpeting, tiles and do-it-yourself remodelling debris, open and dried paint cans, fencing and lumber under 8 feet long and 8 inches in diameter, trimmed branches, and bagged or boxed loose brush and leaves. Fall Cleanup takes yard material only, with branches under the same size limits left unbagged and leaves, pine needles and brush in bags, so paper bags are composted and plastic bags go to the landfill. Only residents who pay the cleanup fee directly on their utility bill may take part, and material must be sorted into separate piles for tree limbs and clean lumber, bagged leaves, scrap metal, landfill waste and free items, with a maximum of two loads per residence. Rocks, concrete, dirt, bricks, hazardous waste, industrial material and wet paint are refused in both seasons.
Electronics are banned from the landfill and priced by the item
Colorado's Electronic Recycling Jobs Act, in force since July 1, 2013, prohibits most electronic waste from the trash, so Durango routes it to the Recycle Center at 710 Tech Center Drive, which accepts up to six large items plus smaller items on Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The city charges by the item, from a dollar for small office equipment and handheld electronics up to thirty five dollars for large office equipment, with fifteen dollars for a monitor, laptop, cathode ray tube or television up to 27 inches, twenty five dollars for larger televisions, five dollars for computers, printers, microwaves and consumer electronics, three dollars for game consoles and audio or video equipment, two dollars for UPS and laptop batteries, and two dollars per pound for household batteries with a one pound minimum. Loads over six large items or fifteen items in total need a Friday morning appointment booked on (970) 375-5004 with a completed inventory.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.
