Colorado Springs is one of the larger U.S. cities with no municipal trash collection at all. The city operates an open private hauler market: residents choose their own provider from licensed companies including Waste Connections, Apex Waste Solutions, Infinite Disposal, Republic Services, SOCO Waste, and others. Bulk pickup rules, fees, and options vary by hauler. This guide explains what that means practically, how to handle large items with each major provider, and every free or low-cost disposal alternative in the Colorado Springs metro.
The Colorado Springs rule for construction debris: Construction debris goes to a transfer station or landfill for a fee, or a rented dumpster.
What the city will not take: Nothing is collected free citywide. Electronics are banned from Colorado landfills and must go to the county facility or a recycler.
How we checked this. The rules on this page were verified in October 2026 against: El Paso County Environmental Division: Household Hazardous Waste Facility and recycling directory, Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment: household hazardous waste programs. Programs change; confirm fees and limits before you go.
Why construction debris are different from ordinary bulk. The homeowner versus contractor distinction matters. Cities that accept any C&D at the curb accept it only from residents doing their own work, in small amounts, usually bagged or bundled under 50 pounds. Contractor-generated debris is excluded everywhere and must be hauled by the contractor; make sure debris removal is in your contract.
Three mistakes that get construction debris left at the curb:
Most renovation debris will go through one of these paid channels. Match the volume to the option.
Self-haul to a transfer station
$30 to $100 per pickup loadTransfer stations charge by weight (commonly $60 to $120 per ton with a minimum) or by load. A pickup truck of mixed debris typically runs $30 to $100. Sort concrete and clean wood out for cheaper rates where offered.
Tarp the load; most jurisdictions fine uncovered debris.
Call about asbestos rules before hauling anything from a pre-1980 house.
