Curbside Trash Pickup Reminders 

  • Trash containers must be the Town of Gypsum issued containers. The 90-gallon residential containers are available for a $110.00 user fee plus, $26.70 per pickup, per month. Bear-resistant containers are also available for a $110 user fee plus $38.60 per pickup, per month.
  • Trash containers must be at the curb by 7:00 a.m. on your scheduled pickup day. The arrow on the container lid must point toward the street. Please remove containers from the curb within 24 hours after pickup. 
  • Trash must be placed in the container. Trash left on the ground or that is too large for the container will not be picked up and is the homeowner’s responsibility.  
  • Lids on the containers must be closed. Trash will not be picked up if the lid is open. 
  • Please keep vehicles and other objects from blocking trash containers. Containers must be 3 feet from any object. If the truck is unable to reach the container, it will not be picked up. For the safety of our drivers, we ask that they remain inside their vehicle while providing trash pick-up services. 
  • No construction (wood, drywall, concrete, etc.) or hazardous materials (paint, oil, etc.) may be placed in container. Motor oil may be recycled at the Gypsum Public Works facility. 
  • Additional/over-sized trash pickup service is available and will be charged in addition to your monthly fee. Yard waste is an “additional pickup”. Weeds and grass clippings must be bagged. No tree branches are accepted.

  • If you prefer, you may certainly contract with another local trash service provider.
