Full details for Lakewood: every rule, with sources
- Trash
- No city trash service — you, your HOA or landlord contract a licensed private hauler. Open-market — City doesn't contract haulers for residents and doesn't provide trash as a utility. Resident/HOA/property manager contracts a licensed commercial waste hauler (City Clerk licensed-hauler PDF). Check HOA first. Report missed pickups/broken carts/commingling to hauler/HOA.
- Recycling
- Hauler-specific; print hauler accept list. City: don't bag recyclables (bagged likely treated as trash); clean/empty/dry; break down cardboard; no pet waste, diapers, soft plastics, food scraps, foam, e-waste, HHW. Apartments without recycling → Quail Street Recycling Center, 1068 Quail St, Lakewood, CO 80226 (free; donations accepted). City Waste Sorting Guide PDF available.
