Residential trash service
OUR STORY
Altitude Waste Solutions is family owned. We are Colorado natives and have worked in the trash industry for over 10 years. We always took pride in being the best drivers for whatever company we were working for at the time. Eventually we decided that we could service a small area of customers on our own and still provide the consistent level of quality service we feel every customer deserves. That's when we formed Altitude Waste Solutions.
Our mission is to provide the highest level of personal residential trash service to our local customers. Give us a call and let us show you what superior trash service looks like today.
Recyclable Materials
You No Longer Have to Sort
To prepare your items to be recycled, please rinse out containers to remove as much of the food residue as possible. No need to discard plastic lids and caps on plastic bottles, but do discard pumps on bottles. In addition, please make sure there are NO PLASTIC BAGS mixed in your recyclables. Below are some details:
Plastics
Only recycle plastic bottles and tubs. Please do not add clam shell containers or #7 PLA compostable plastics. No need to remove the screw tops on the bottles. In addition we accept the larger what are known as “mixed rigid plastics.” These are the larger toys and buckets.
