Complaints? 

If you have a complaint about a trash or recycling collection service provider, contact that provider directly to resolve the issue. You may submit any complaints, in writing, to the attention of the City Clerk's Office. Letters can be mailed to 4800 W. 92nd Ave., Westminster, CO 80031 or sent via email to licensing@westminsterco.gov. All written complaints will be taken into consideration when licenses are up for renewal at the first of each year. 

Are You A Waste Service Provider?

Private trash collection and recycling providers are required to obtain a Solid Waste/Recycling Collector License from the city. The licensing process allows the provider to operate within the city, but does not constitute any endorsement of the services provided by these companies. 

All licensed private trash collection providers must offer both trash collection and recycling to all customers curbside - services and fees will vary.
