Boulder trash pickup: cost and carts
Residential trash service is provided by private haulers; the city does not provide hauling or set rates. Private haulers such as Western Disposal Services and One Way.
Your hauler's bill is extra: Boulder has no city trash service and hauler prices aren't published. The city's $3.50 monthly household trash tax, which most haulers pass on, is also not included (it usually appears on your hauler's bill).
