The city provides curbside trash and recycling service to all single-family residences in Northglenn for a monthly fee of $16.  Businesses should contact a private provider. Apartment complexes handle trash collection for their residents.  

Trash Collection Calendar

Getting Trash Carts
All single-family residences are required to use a trash cart purchased from the city. This ensures compatibility with the automated trash trucks and provides a 10-year warranty for cart damages. 

Two cart sizes are available:

  • 96-gallon at $60 will hold up to 300 pounds
  • 64-gallon at $58 will hold up to 224 pounds

You can have up to four trash/recycling carts at your residence:
  • Three trash carts and one recycling cart
  • Two trash carts and two recycling carts


If your cart needs replacement after the 10-year warranty ends, you will need to purchase a new cart from the city.

Recycling carts are provided free of charge.
