About Western
Western Disposal is a local family-owned business that started in 1970 with one truck and a vision of what customers would value in a trash collection company: dependable, on-time service from friendly, well-trained employees. Still local and going strong five decades later, we have evolved into a company with 150 employees, over 70 vehicles on the road each day and more than 35,000 residential and commercial customers.
We serve Boulder, Broomfield and neighboring counties with waste collection services, including trash, recycling and, in most areas, compostables collection services.
