Select the calendar in the column that describes the carts you have for collection and your collection day. The 2009 calendars are available below and in December the calendar for the following year will be posted.

If you are in doubt as to what carts to set out, put them all out and our drivers will empty the ones to be collected that day. If you do not know which collection calendar applies to your service, please call our Customer Service Department at (303)444-2037.
