Fort Collins junk hauling guide
About the Fort Collins junk hauling guide
This site is an independent local referral service and planning guide for junk removal in Fort Collins and the towns around it. It is not a hauling company: it passes your request to an independent local contractor, who does the work.
What it is for
Getting rid of a house’s worth of things raises the same questions every time. What is in the pile, which parts have their own rules, where each part can go, what the public fees are, and what to ask a contractor before agreeing to a price. The guide answers those for Fort Collins, Laporte, Wellington, Timnath, Windsor, Severance, Loveland and Berthoud.
How a request is handled
A quote request carries your first name, a callback number, your area and a description of the load. It goes to an independent local contractor near that area, who phones you to talk through the items, the stairs and the driveway, and then confirms availability, the scope, the disposal plan and the final price. You decide whether to go ahead; the form alone never books a truck.
Where the facts come from
Every local rule, address and fee is taken from an official page: the City of Fort Collins, Larimer County, the town governments, Colorado State University or the EPA. Each one is linked where it is used and was checked on September 27, 2026. Rules and fees change, so when the linked page and this site disagree, the linked page is right.
What it does not do
This guide is not affiliated with the City of Fort Collins, Larimer County, Republic Services or any town. It does not haul, carry or dispose of anything, and it does not set the price; the local pro who takes the job does both. It shows no reviews, ratings or license numbers and does not vouch for anyone’s license. Fort Collins requires a City hauler license, so ask the contractor to confirm theirs before the truck comes.
How to read the prices
Gate fees and City charges are copied from official schedules. The private ranges are illustrations for budgeting, labeled as such wherever they appear. Only a contractor who has seen the item list and the way out of the house can give an actual price.
