If your garbage or recycle pickup is scheduled for Monday or Tuesday, we kindly request that you put out your trash container on Monday night for pickup on Tuesday. We won’t be able to come back for containers that are set out late.

In certain rural areas like Denver, Readlyn, the rural areas of Airline, and nearby places, some residential customers may have their pickup delayed until Wednesday. However, it’s important for everyone to still place their containers outside on Monday night because we’ll start our regular Tuesday route on Tuesday afternoon.
