Denver residents may dispose of and recycler their household hazardous waste properly through the City's Household Hazardous Waste Program. Residents living in single-family homes or buildings of seven units or less can make an at-home collection appointment once per calendar year. All participants must submit a $15 copayment at the time of their appointment. Call 1-800-HHW-PKUP (1-800-449-7587) or email hotline@curbsideinc.com for collection information and to schedule an appointment.
Before making appointment, please make sure that you qualify. To quality for an appointment, you must have either:
- A minimum of 25 pounds of any one material listed under the Acceptable Household Hazardous Waste list. * Please note that we willl not make appointments for only latex paint. If you only have latex paint, please contact Mix Paints for a drop-off appointment (they charge $2 per unit). OR
- A minimum of 3 different types of materials listed under the Acceptable Household Hazardous Waste list.
Once you make an appointment:
1. A collection Kit is shipped so you receive it a few days before your scheduled collection. The Kit includes a bag to contain your materials, instructions, labels and a tie to secure the bag.
2. Assemble all your HHW according to the instructions. Be sure to incluce the $15 copayment. We will not accept materials without lids or those which are leaking or not labeled. Containers must be 5-gallons or less. The collection bag holds about 10-12 gallons. If you have more waste than will fit in the bag and are willing to pay for collection of the excess material, then please call the 1800 hotline to arrange for payment for those additional items.
** Note: Denver residents that reside in multi-family buildings with more than 7 units are not eligible for a door-to-door collection, but may make an appointment to drop off items at the Denver Regional Household Hazardous Waste Facility. Residents using the program will be responsible for a $15 co-payment. Drop-off appointments are limited, so only residents living in buildings with more than 7 units are eligible for drop-off appointments.
