City of Arvada's Waste Hauling Program
Waste & Recycling container storage

- Containers should be placed out by 7 a.m. on your collection day.
- Containers should be placed as close to curbside as possible without obstructing the sidewalk.
- Municipal Code requires that containers may not be curbside for longer than 24 consecutive hours per week.
