Glenwood Springs is launching its 2026 Spring Cleanup program with free landfill vouchers, curbside pickup, yard waste drop-offs, a tree giveaway, river cleanup, and hazardous waste disposal. Here’s a full breakdown of dates, services, and how to participate.
Glenwood Springs residents will have multiple opportunities this spring to clean up their homes, yards, and neighborhoods as the City rolls out a comprehensive lineup of seasonal cleanup events throughout April and May.
The city’s annual Spring Cleanup program includes landfill vouchers, curbside collection, yard waste drop-offs, a tree giveaway, river cleanup efforts, and a hazardous waste disposal event—many of which are offered at no cost to residents. Full details and registration links are available through the city’s spring cleanup hub.
From April 1 through April 30, Glenwood Springs residents can request subsidized landfill vouchers valid through July 31. Each household is eligible for one voucher, which covers up to one pickup truck load of non-hazardous waste.
Accepted materials include bulky furniture, mattresses, scrap metal, yard waste, and wood. Hazardous materials are not included, and proof of residency is required at the landfill.
Starting April 4, residents can bring yard waste to the former rodeo grounds every other Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon, continuing through September 19.
Accepted materials include grass clippings, leaves, weeds, and branches (up to 2 inches in diameter). The service is free, though limited to city residents and not available for commercial use.
Two curbside collection days are scheduled for April 8 and April 9, with registration required by April 5.
Items must be placed at the curb by 7 a.m. on the selected day. The program is designed to support residents who may not have the ability to transport items themselves.
The city is also hosting several community-focused events:
Both events encourage environmental stewardship while offering residents a chance to get involved locally.
On May 23, residents can safely dispose of hazardous materials at the Community Center from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Accepted items include paints, chemicals, pesticides, and automotive fluids.
The service is free for Glenwood Springs residents, with a small fee for those outside city limits. Participants can also pick up free compost after drop-off.
Many of the city’s cleanup services require proof of residency, and several programs—especially curbside pickup and tree giveaways—require advance registration due to limited availability.
Together, these events provide a coordinated effort to reduce waste, support neighborhood cleanup, and promote environmental responsibility across Glenwood Springs this spring.
