Sometimes our neighborhoods start to accumulate junk. Debris piles accumulate, couches sit on porches, overgrown bushes need pruning and everything needs a good raking. Load up your car, truck, or trailer with all of this junk and join your neighbors for one of Localworks’ four summer Clean Up Days!
During Clean Up Days we bring multiple full sized dumpsters to a local church parking lot and you bring the junk! As part of our commitment to sustainability, we make sure to offer specific landscaping and recycling dumpsters so you can make sure your junk goes to the right place. We even offer special waste dumpsters on certain days for hard to get rid of items such as tires and paint. In partnership with Bin There Dump That and the Wheat Ridge Police Department, Localworks offers one Clean Up Day each month of summer, June through September.
