Curbside Trash Collection Services#
In early 2023, Fort Collins City Council adopted a contract for residential trash and recycling collection. The new service started on September 30, 2024.
The new program is designed to increase opportunities for composting and recycling, provide equitable and consistent pricing across the community, and increase safety and reducing emissions by reducing the number of trash trucks on residential streets.
