Grand Junction’s free Spring Clean-Up Program returns March 30 through April 10, 2026. Residents can dispose of yard waste and household items with curbside pickup. Check area schedules, placement rules, and size limits before setting out your pile.
Grand Junction residents will once again have the opportunity to clear out yard waste and unwanted household items during the City’s annual Spring Clean-Up Program, running March 30 through April 10, 2026.
The long-standing program, which dates back to the early 1900s, provides free curbside pickup for residential properties within city limits. It’s one of the City’s most widely used seasonal services, helping residents dispose of bulky or unusable items that don’t fit in regular trash service.
The program will roll out in two phases depending on location:
Residents are encouraged to have their materials placed at the curb before the start time on the first day of pickup in their area.
To ensure collection, the City is asking residents to follow a few key guidelines:
There is also a size limit. Piles larger than approximately 10 cubic yards (about the size of a large dump truck) may be subject to a $150 fee.
City officials encourage residents to consider donating or recycling usable items when possible, helping reduce waste and support local organizations.
A full list of accepted and prohibited items, as well as a map of pickup zones, is available on the City’s website.
For more information, residents can visit the City of Grand Junction website or call 970-256-4111.
