Fall is the perfect time to tidy up your yard, clear out unwanted items, and prepare your home for winter. But all that raking, pruning, and decluttering can leave your trash bin overflowing quickly. If you’ve ever wondered whether your regular trash pickup is enough, you’re not alone.

At Mountain Disposal, we offer flexible curbside trash service options to help homeowners in Colorado City and surrounding communities manage seasonal surges in waste. This guide will explain how to handle extra trash during fall clean‑up season, tips to make the process easier, and why Mountain Disposal is the right partner for hassle-free service.

Why Fall Clean Up Generates Extra Trash
Autumn is notorious for creating more waste than usual. Common sources include:

• Fallen leaves and yard debris
  
• Old garden tools or outdoor furniture
  
• Packaging from seasonal purchases
  
• Items cleared from basements, garages, and attics

Even if your weekly pickup works year-round, seasonal spikes can exceed your 95‑gallon curbside tote. Overflowing bins can create safety hazards, attract wildlife, and make your property look messy. Planning ahead ensures your home stays clean and your trash is collected efficiently.

Please note, no matter what time of the year it is, the following items are not allowed in your curbside tote. Due to laws and regulations, Mountain Disposal cannot dispose of these items through weekly curbside pickup.

• Any hazardous materials
• Liquids of any kind, including motor oil, cooking oil, paint, household chemicals
• Batteries
• Electronics
• Tires

Special arrangements for these materials can be made through our office. Additional charges will apply.

Also, electronics cannot be placed in a curbside container. We can, however, remove them for you, at an additional charge and they will be removed separately.

How Mountain Disposal Supports Extra Trash Pickup

Our curbside trash service is designed to handle both standard and seasonal waste. Here’s how we accommodate fall clean-up:

• Extra container options: If your regular 95‑gallon curbside tote isn’t enough, additional totes can be requested for short-term or ongoing use.
  
• Flexible scheduling: We can coordinate extra pickups around your normal weekly service.
  
• Rural-friendly routes: Serving Rye, Colorado City, San Isabel, Wetmore, Beulah, Walsenburg, Cuchara, La Veta, and nearby HOAs, they make sure no neighborhood is left behind.

With Mountain Disposal, you won’t need to worry about where to put all the extra leaves, branches, and household items you’re ready to dispose of this season.

Tips for Managing Extra Trash During Fall Clean-Up

To make the most of your extra curbside trash service, follow these best practices:

1. Maximize bin capacity: Flatten boxes and compact trash when possible. Our 95-gallon curbside totes handle large volumes if used wisely.
   
2. Plan your pickup: Schedule extra service ahead of major yard work days to avoid overflowing bins.
   
3. Secure your trash: Keep lids closed, bags tied, and contained to prevent wind or animals from spreading debris.

These small adjustments save time, reduce mess, and ensure a smoother fall clean-up experience.
