Commerce City issued the following announcement on Oct. 8.
Still have that old couch sitting around? Or the broken TV stand? The city’s trash and recycling program includes one free bulk item pickup per quarter, which you can schedule through Republic Services (additional items can be scheduled for $15 each). In addition to these four free pickups per year, Republic Services also schedules one Free Large-Item Pickup Day per year for your entire neighborhood.
The Free Large-Item Pickup Days allow each household to place up to five items at the curb for free pickup once per year to help take those large, unwanted items off your hands. Any item that cannot fit in your curbside trash cart is considered a large item for pickup.
Residential neighborhoods are divided into five areas for these events, with a different part of the city being serviced over five Saturdays between October and December. Areas of unincorporated Adams County and residents who do not receive the city’s regular trash service are not eligible to participate.
