Disposal guide
Can You Put TVs & Electronics in a Dumpster?
In most dumpsters, no. In ours, yes. Colorado bans electronics from landfills, which is why most companies refuse them, and why we built proper routing into how we operate instead.
The Law, and Why It Doesn't Have to Be Your Problem
Colorado prohibits disposing of electronics in landfills statewide: TVs, monitors, computers, laptops, tablets, printers, and similar devices. Every gate in the metro enforces it, which is why most dumpster companies tell you to keep electronics out and figure it out yourself. We took the other approach: put them in. We separate electronics from our loads and route them to certified e-waste recyclers, so the law gets followed without you making a second trip.
How It Works With Us
Trailer rental: toss the old TV in with everything else, just mention it when you book or at pickup so we sort it on our end. Junk removal: dead electronics in basements are half our cleanout jobs; we pull them, route them, done. No per-item drama for ordinary household electronics. If your cleanout includes a 200 pound rear-projection TV in the basement, mention that one specifically, it is a two-person carry and we plan for it.
Going DIY Instead?
If you are hauling your own loads to the landfill, electronics cannot be in them, full stop, the gate will flag it. Certified e-waste recyclers around the metro accept them, typically charging modest per-item fees for TVs and monitors, and city and county collection events periodically take them cheaper. Or skip the sorting and let our load handle it.
