A clear count. An exact price.

Count the bags and boxes, not everything inside.

A few simple choices turn a mixed pile into a clear booking. No need to estimate how much of a truck it might fill.

Filled bags and boxes

Count each trash bag or filled household box. Books and media go by the box. Clothes, bedding and shoes go by the filled bag. Toys packed together have a Box of toys choice. Ask us about unusually heavy or oversized bags and boxes first.

Empty cardboard and containers

Empty cardboard is a different choice: choose single empty boxes or tied bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Compacted bales have their own weight-based choices and require loading-dock access. A Storage bin choice covers the empty bin itself; ask us to confirm the contents if they are going too.

Furniture and other larger items

Add the actual larger item alongside your bags and boxes, such as a sofa, chair or mattress. It has its own price and preparation. Keep construction materials and items needing special handling out of ordinary household bags.

Furniture and mattresses

Accepted with preparation

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 and white goods

Special rules apply

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.

Bulk household junk

Accepted with preparation

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.

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 handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Bulk pickup runs on two Thursdays a month

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.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Self hauling in Durango means the Recycle Center for electronics and the booked bulk route for everything else, because the city does not run a public transfer station of its own. The Recycle Center at 710 Tech Center Drive takes up to six large electronics items plus smaller ones on Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., charging by the item, with smaller electronics at a dollar, monitors, laptops, cathode ray tubes and televisions up to 27 inches at fifteen dollars, larger televisions at twenty five, large office equipment at thirty five, household batteries at two dollars a pound with a one pound minimum, and larger loads booked by appointment on Friday mornings on (970) 375-5004 with a completed inventory. For household bulk the city's own route is the booked pickup, priced per ten cubic yard truckload with a per appliance charge, scheduled by the Streets Division on the first and third Thursdays with 24 hours notice, and anything that will not fit waits for the Spring Cleanup from March 30 to April 30 or the autumn cleanup, which is yard material only and open to households that pay the cleanup fee on their utility bill. Refused material on every one of those routes includes rocks, concrete, dirt, bricks, hazardous or industrial waste, electronics and batteries in the bulk pile, tires and untreated refrigerant appliances.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Durango.

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Durango?

A trash bag is $59 as the first item and $10 additional. A filled household box is $59 as the first item. Add your actual items and quantities to see the combined price before booking. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; any applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

Can you pick up bags of junk today?

Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Available dates appear at checkout. Have the booked bags and boxes outside and accessible according to your confirmation. You receive pickup updates and completion photos; the booking is for a day rather than an exact arrival time.

Do I count every object inside a bag or box?

No. Count the filled bags or boxes using the matching choice. Books and media go in Filled household box; clothes, bedding and shoes go in Bag of clothes & bedding; packed toys have a Box of toys choice. Empty cardboard is separate, with individual empty boxes and bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Heavy, oversized or unusual contents need a photo review before booking.

Can you pick up a small loose pile of household junk?

Yes. Estimate how many trash bags the small household pile would fill, and bag or box as much as possible. Select furniture and other larger items separately. There is no extra charge just because the pile is loose. Send a photo first if the count or contents are unclear. A household Dumpster Bag choice does not accept construction debris.

Can I book bags, boxes and furniture together?

Yes. Select the bags and boxes, then add each larger item using its own catalog choice. The booking shows one combined price for the selected items. Move everything to an accessible outdoor spot before pickup; indoor carrying and sorting are not included. Keep anything you want to retain apart from the booked items and identify what goes in your photos and notes.

How does a Durango couch leave the house?

Through a booked bulk pickup, which takes furniture as part of a load priced per ten cubic yard truckload, scheduled by the Streets Division on the first and third Thursdays of the month with 24 hours notice by the Wednesday morning before. Furniture and mattresses are also accepted during the Spring Cleanup for households that pay the cleanup fee on their utility bill, where different materials go into separate piles. Nothing should go out before the night before a scheduled pickup.Official guidance

What does a Durango appliance pickup cost?

The bulk pickup charges a per appliance fee on top of the truckload price, and the appliance has to have its refrigerant or Freon removed by a licensed business and be tagged as safe before it will be taken. The Spring Cleanup accepts large appliances but excludes refrigerators and air conditioning units altogether, and the bulk page lists appliances or equipment that still hold refrigerants as not collected, so the professional removal is the step that decides whether the unit can go out.Official guidance

What can go in a Durango bulk pile?

Furniture, scrap metals, drywall, fencing, carpeting, tiles, open dried paint cans, tree trimmings and branches under 8 feet, bagged or boxed loose brush and leaves, and appliances once the refrigerant has been removed by a licensed business and the unit is tagged as safe. Households book the pickup with the Streets Division at least 24 hours ahead, the crew comes on the first or third Thursday of the month, the price is per ten cubic yard truckload plus a charge for each appliance, and rocks, concrete, dirt, brick, hazardous material, electronics, batteries, tires and untreated refrigerant units are refused.Official guidance

How does Durango collect yard waste and brush?

Yard material goes out with a booked bulk pickup, where tree trimmings and branches under 8 feet and bagged or boxed loose brush and leaves are accepted, or during the Spring and Fall Cleanups for households that pay the cleanup fee on their utility bill. The autumn event takes yard material only, with branches left unbagged and leaves, pine needles and brush in bags, and paper bags are composted while plastic bags go to the landfill. Branches stay under 8 feet long and 8 inches in diameter, everything is separated into piles, and material stays two feet from fences, trees and bushes.Official guidance

Who collects Durango trash and recycling?

The City of Durango's Trash and Recycling division collects residential and commercial garbage and recycling inside city limits, from an office at 710 Tech Center Drive on 970-375-5004, while the Streets Division runs the booked bulk pickup and the spring and fall cleanups. Bulk pickups are scheduled on the first and third Thursdays of the month with 24 hours notice and are priced per ten cubic yard truckload with a per appliance charge, and commercial properties do not qualify for that service.Official guidance

How does a Durango bulk pickup work?

A single family household inside city limits books it with the Streets Division, giving 24 hours notice by the Wednesday morning before, and the crew collects on the first or third Thursday of the month if the weather allows, at a set price per ten cubic yard truckload plus a per appliance charge. Items stay in until the night before, because unscheduled items left out may draw a code enforcement ticket, then go on the pavement outside the kerb and clear of gas meters, fences, lawns, sidewalks, greenbelt and driveways. The service pauses during the spring and fall cleanups, and rocks, concrete, dirt, sod, bricks, hazardous material, electronics, batteries, tires and untreated refrigerant units are refused.Official guidance

Who can use the Durango spring and fall cleanups?

Only City of Durango residents who pay the Spring and Fall Cleanup fee directly on their utility bill, and renters are told to ask their landlord to confirm whether the fee appears on the bill for the address. Spring Cleanup runs from March 30 to April 30 in 2026 and takes furniture, mattresses, appliances without refrigerators or air conditioning units, scrap metal, do-it-yourself remodelling debris, dried paint cans and yard material, while the fall event takes yard material only. Materials are separated into piles, the limit is two loads per residence, everything must be 8 feet or less in length, and county residents cannot bring material into city limits for disposal.Official guidance
