Cart selection ends April 25. If you did not receive a postcard or have lost your card, please contact the City team to obtain your verification code. You can call 720-898-7575 or email wastehauling@arvada.org. If you email, please include your service address and a contact phone number. If you live in an HOA, there is no action for you to take.
Service level selection has begun
The City of Arvada, in partnership with our contracted hauling company, Republic Services, is working to launch the new Residential Waste and Recycling Collection program. While collection under the new program will not begin until July 2021, here is what residents can expect over the coming months:
- Beginning in March, residents who are eligible to participate in the City’s Residential Waste and Recycling Collection program will start receiving service level selection postcards.
- The postcards are being mailed in batches between March 2 and March 18, 2021.
- The postcard will give details about how to respond by phone, website and mail.
- Each household will be able to select from three waste cart sizes or choose the minimum level of service and use a different waste hauling service.
- If you do not reply to the service level selection postcard, you will receive Level 3 service (95 gallon waste cart and 95 gallon recycling cart) in June 2021.
- Households have begun receiving selection postcards. The selection window has been extended to April 25, 2021.
- In June, carts will arrive at participating households.
- In July, pick up service will begin.
- In September, waste collection fees (or a minimum service fee) will be included in water utility bills.

Who is eligible to participate
Single-family homes, duplexes and townhomes (including housing with fewer than 8 multi-family units) in neighborhoods that DO NOT have organized waste collection.
Apartment and condominium complexes with eight or more units and commercial properties are exempt. Homeowners associations (HOAs) that already contract with a waste hauler are not required to participate in the program; however, they may opt in. All HOAs will pay an 88 cent fee (per home, per month) and be included in the bulky item and yard debris services.
Not sure if you are eligible to participate or wondering what your service day would be? You can search for your address using the Waste Hauling Proposed Pick Up Day and Eligibility Search.
