The City of Westminster does not provide citywide trash pickup service. A list of trash and recycling providers can be found below:
Trash removal services and fees will vary.
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.
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.
The City of Westminster does not provide compost collection or services to residents or businesses. Services need to be contracted directly with one of the licensed Trash and Recycling Collectors listed below.
The city has contracted with Waste Management At Your Door Special Collection, Inc. to collect household hazardous waste directly from your home by appointment FREE of charge within program limits.
