Residential Curbside Service
Customers must reside within Grand Junction city limits. Materials must be on the approved list and be prepared in accordance with guidelines. The list of acceptable materials is subject to change depending on end markets for recyclables. The latest updates can always be found on the website or by contacting the Recycling Division at 970-256-4136 or recycling@gjcity.org.
Service Schedule
The City offers residential curbside recycling service to single-family residences and to multi-family units up to four-plexes. Currently, the City only offers once-per-month service for $1.75 per month. This charge can be added to the customer's monthly City utility bill. If the property is a rental, the tenant may have the option to pay the $21.00 annual fee directly to the City of Grand Junction.
Current twice-per-month customers are able to keep their service and transfer it with them, but no new twice-per-month accounts are being created.
Customers should have material ready by 7 a.m. on the day of collection and at the location designated by the City (typically at curbside on the street bearing the service address) at the time of sign-up. Whenever possible, the City will return your recycling containers to a location near your house and secure them as best as possible to prevent loss. The City is not responsible for lost, stolen, or missing containers. Note that your pick-up day will vary with location throughout the city, and will not always coincide with any trash services you may receive.
