 Large Item Cleanup Program

Due to budget constraints, the City of Westminster is discontinuing its Large Item Cleanup Program beginning in 2010.

The move will save an estimated $105,000 in 2010, helping close a budget shortfall of nearly $8 million.

The money saved will instead be used on the core service of street maintenance.

Although the city will not be offering pick up of large items, there are a number of alternatives available to residents who are seeking to get rid of unwanted items.

Alternatives

Trash haulers - The city’s licensed trash haulers will pick up large items for a fee. A list with contact information can be found on the Waste Disposal page.

Recycling guide - The city also has a comprehensive guide for hard-to-recycle items, including appliances, bathtubs, toilets, furniture and even bicycles. Check out the Hard to Recycle Guide for more information.

Household hazardous waste - Westminster offers residents free home pick-up of household hazardous waste. More information on the Household Hazardous Waste program.

Tree branches - Residents can recycle their tree limbs (less than 8 inches in diameter) on the last Saturday of the month, March through October. More information on the Tree Limb Recycling program.
