Regularly Scheduled Cart Service or Weekly Cart Service

 

Western Disposal offers once-per-week collection of trash and recyclables at affordable prices for you and your family.  Our recycling carts allow you to easily recycle the majority of your trash allowing you to subscribe for a lower level of trash service.  Your rate for trash removal will almost always be lower with Western because you can subscribe to a lower level of trash service with us than with our competitors.

 

Western provides cart service using 32-gallon, 64-gallon and / or 96-gallon carts.  Carts are pictured below along with cart dimensions.  Typically customers are provided with a 32-gallon cart for their recyclable containers (bottles, cans, plastic containers) and a 64-gallon cart for their recyclable fibers (newspaper, cardboard, etc.)   Please click here for a complete listing of recyclable items. 

 

You select the size trash container you want, 32-gallon, 64-gallon or 96-gallon, and you are billed accordingly based only on the size of the trash container.

 

Our collection schedule is trash every week, fiber one week and containers the next.  So every week you put out your trash container and you alternate putting out your fiber or commingled container cart from week-to-week.

Prepaid Bag Service


For those of you who don’t generate enough trash to fill even a 32-gallon cart each week, Western offers a unique, money-saving option.  You may purchase a box of 35 specially colored trash bags that you can put out for collection only as you have the need.  The cost of ultimately collecting these bags is included in their purchase price from us.  If you put out no more than two of the bags per month, you can save money compared to subscribing for regularly scheduled service.  As with regularly scheduled service, Western will supply you with recycling carts and will collect the recyclables weekly.  There is a monthly charge for the recyclables collection that is in addition to the cost of the prepaid trash bags.

Extra Trash Removal


From time to time, all of our customers have more trash than will fit in their carts.  We are happy to take this extra material, but we are required to charge for it under the city of Boulder rules, the Pay-As-You-Throw Ordinance.  If you frequently have extra trash for collection (more than two bags per month), you may want to increase your level of service.  If this is the case, please call our Customer Service Department at 303-444-2037 to increase your service.


There are two options for handling extra trash not included in your service level:


Option 1: Put your extra trash in a 32-gallon bag or can and set it out on collection day. You will be billed per 32-gallon container on your next bill.


Option 2: Buy Extra Trash Stickers. Sticker each 32-gallon container and save over 35% over Option 1! Using prepaid trash bag stickers saves you money and saves us money because we avoid considerable recording and billing costs.  Extra Trash Stickers are available to all customers with regularly scheduled weekly pickup (they are not available to prepaid bag customers).  How to get your stickers:

  • Call us and we will mail them to you (minimum order of 5). You will receive a charge on your next bill.
  • You may fax (303-444-7509) or e-mail your request here.
  • Stop by our office to buy stickers (no minimum).

Put stickers only on bags or on the trash in the can as each sticker represents payment for one 32-gallon unit of trash.  Large items, such as sofas, mattresses, etc., are charged on a per-item basis.

 

Stickers may not be used in lieu of payment of your bill.

 

Carryout Service


Sometimes you need a little extra help with your trash and recyclables; that’s where we come in.  If you do not want to put your materials at the curb, we will collect your carts from the backyard or from the front of your house for an additional fee.


Drive-In Service


Long driveway?  We will drive to your house to collect your trash and recyclables.  There is an extra fee for the service, but on a cold winter morning many people find the service well worth the cost.


Your property must accommodate a full-size trash or recycle truck and we require a signed driveway authorization form allowing us to enter your property.
