All Arvada Residents are invited to participate in community-wide drop off events. These events are included in the minimum services that Arvada customers invest in as part of the City’s Waste and Recycling Program. In an effort to keep leaves out of the landfill and off of City streets where they can block storm drains, free residential leaf recycling is available.

Extra bag tags
If you subscribe to the City’s Waste and Recycling Program, you can purchase tags for extra trash bags-especially handy this time of year when all those leaf bags won’t fit in your trash can! Tags are just $3.62 per bag, and you can pick them up at City Hall (8101 Ralston Road) or call 720-898-7070 for more information.
*Please bring the exact amount in cash or pay by check. Change cannot be provided.
