Every route for patio furniture in Aurora, checked in October 2026 against the city’s current rules and the drop-off sites named. The full Aurora guide covers every other item.
Here is how each route works in Aurora, starting with the city program and ending with paid pickup.
Aurora bulky item disposal: patio furniture
Your hauler, for a feeMetal frames to a scrap yard; your hauler for the rest.
Who qualifies: Aurora has no city trash collection. Every home, HOA, or building arranges service with one of the city's licensed private haulers, and bulky pickups are arranged with that hauler for a fee.
How to schedule: Call your hauler (Republic, Waste Connections, Waste Management, HBS, Mountain High, and others) to schedule a bulky pickup; fees vary. Self-haul to the Denver Arapahoe Disposal Site for a fee, or use the city's periodic neighborhood cleanup events. The 2021 free large-item pickup was a one-time program.
Limits: Set by your hauler. City cleanup events have their own rules and run a few times a year.
Set-out: Only on a date your hauler confirms; Aurora code requires trash to be contained and out of street view otherwise.
Donation pickup in Aurora (usable patio furniture)
FreeDonation programs accept items in good usable condition: clean upholstered furniture without significant tears or stains, working appliances less than 10 years old, mattresses in good condition (subject to program rules), kitchenware, lamps, and most household goods.
Items typically not accepted: damaged or stained furniture, mattresses with bedbug history or significant wear, appliances that don’t work, particle-board furniture in poor condition, cribs (federal safety regulations have changed), and exercise equipment that requires reassembly. Always call the program before scheduling.
Freemoval (free pickups through partner organizations)
FreeFreemoval funds free junk removal and cleanouts for households referred by trusted partner organizations, such as nonprofits, housing programs, and senior services. Families don’t apply directly. A partner submits the request and vouches for the need.
Status in Aurora: Not yet available. Freemoval currently serves metro Atlanta and plans to expand nationwide.
How it works where it operates: One free pickup per household, covering patio furniture, furniture, appliances, and bulk household items within standard LoadUp marketplace service. Funded by LoadUp customer round-ups and direct contributions, spent at standard LoadUp rates.

Aurora, Colorado is the 51st-largest U.S. city and one of the few major cities where the city itself does not provide trash or recycling collection. Aurora requires all residences to have weekly trash service, but residents choose from the city’s licensed private haulers list. Aurora Water does run a citywide HHW pickup program through Waste Management’s At Your Door service: year-round curbside HHW pickup for $10 for Aurora residents (discounted from the $20 standard rate). Pedal Point LifeCycle Solutions partners with the city for electronics recycling events with rotating 2026 dates. Trash containers must be screened from street view per city code. This guide covers every disposal option for City of Aurora residents.
The Aurora rule for patio furniture: Metal frames to a scrap yard; your hauler for the rest.
Program basics: Set by your hauler. City cleanup events have their own rules and run a few times a year. Only on a date your hauler confirms; Aurora code requires trash to be contained and out of street view otherwise.
What the city will not take: Nothing is collected free citywide. Electronics are banned from Colorado landfills.
How we checked this. The rules on this page were verified in October 2026 against: City of Aurora: Trash and Recycling (private hauler system). Programs change; confirm fees and limits before you go.
Why patio furniture are different from ordinary bulk. Patio sets accumulate damage that donation programs will not accept: rust on steel, fading and brittleness on plastic, unraveling resin wicker, and mildew on cushions. Intact aluminum and teak sets in good condition donate easily; everything else goes to scrap or bulk.
Three mistakes that get patio furniture left at the curb:
Paid options are for a full set with nowhere to stage it, a condo with no bulk service, or heavy cast pieces nobody will carry.
Self-haul to a transfer station
$10 to $30Plastic and resin pieces stack into a pickup or trailer. Transfer stations charge by load. Take the metal to a scrap yard separately where it is free or pays.
Break resin wicker frames down to reduce the volume charge.
LoadUp paid patio furniture pickup
$80+For Aurora households needing in-home pickup, items beyond your hauler’s bulk policy, or service when crew labor is needed (heavy items, multiple-piece sets), LoadUp connects you with independent loaders in the Denver metro for upfront-priced pickup.
What’s included: Loading, hauling, and licensed disposal of your patio furniture. No prep needed beyond pointing out what goes.
Pricing: Starts around $80 for a single item; full-truck pickups range from $300 to $600 depending on volume.
If you can pay for a pickup, your booking helps fund free pickups for someone else. Every paid LoadUp customer can opt in to round up at checkout, and 100% of round-ups go directly to Freemoval’s subsidized jobs.

Does Aurora pick up patio furniture for free?
Scrap yard for metal, your hauler for the rest.
Where can I donate patio furniture in Aurora?
Donation programs accept items in good usable condition: clean upholstered furniture without significant tears or stains, working appliances less than 10 years old, mattresses in good condition (subject to program rules), kitchenware, lamps, and most household goods.
How much does paid patio furniture removal cost in Aurora?
Through the LoadUp marketplace, a single patio furniture pickup in Aurora starts around $80 to $100 with upfront pricing, and full-truck loads run $300 to $600 depending on volume. For Aurora households needing in-home pickup, items beyond your hauler’s bulk policy, or service when crew labor is needed (heavy items, multiple-piece sets), LoadUp connects you with independent loaders in the Denver metro for upfront-priced pickup.
Can patio furniture go out with bulk trash?
Yes in nearly every city with a bulk program. Remove glass tabletops and protect them, break down umbrellas, and stack chairs. Metal pieces can go to scrap instead.
Is aluminum patio furniture worth anything as scrap?
Yes. Aluminum pays several times the per-pound rate of steel, and a full aluminum set weighs 60 to 120 pounds. Many people get $20 to $60 at a yard, or simply give it to a scrapper who picks it up free.
What do I do with a glass patio tabletop?
Remove it from the frame. For bulk pickup, tape the surface in a grid, mark it 'glass,' and lean it securely, or box it. Intact tempered glass tops are also easy to give away because replacements cost $100 or more.
Can I donate weathered patio furniture?
Donation programs want pieces without rust, brittleness, or mildew. Weathered teak and cast aluminum are accepted and resold; faded plastic and frayed resin wicker usually are not. Free listings are more forgiving.
Is this Aurora page maintained?
Yes. Freemoval maintains this page as a public resource alongside the full Aurora guide. We update it when programs change rules, fees, or contact methods. Last updated October 2026. If you find outdated information, let us know.
