NEW - Building Materials Pick Up Program

The City and County of Broomfield's Sustainability Division, in collaboration with Resource Central, is initiating a public outreach campaign. This campaign aims to raise awareness of Resource Central's new curbside pickup program, which offers Broomfield residents (homeowners and contractors alike) a free service to donate unwanted new or used building materials.

Residents may request a free Thursday pickup at ResourceCentral.org or deliver donations directly to Resource Central at 6400 Arapahoe Rd., Boulder, CO 80303, Monday-Saturday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m.

Approximately 25% of Colorado's solid waste is made up of construction and demolition materials. This program helps the City and County of Broomfield achieve its zero-waste goals by diverting these materials from landfills, offering the community a convenient and sustainable choice.
