Fort Lupton senior and disabled curbside pickup
Fort Lupton residents who are seniors or have disabilities and cannot bring items to Clean-Up Days themselves; residents must phone to be added to the list.
This year’s was on Sep 17, 2026 — it has already happened, and the town has not published next year’s date yet.
Conditions and source
Runs the Thursday before each spring and autumn Clean-Up Days - Thursday, September 17, 2026 for the autumn event. Residents must call 303-857-6694 before the Tuesday of that week to be put on the list. One pickup-truck sized load per address. Items must be at the curb or alley and easily accessible, because Public Works crews cannot leave the street to collect them. Branches must be in 5-foot bundles. Refused: items that need breaking down for disposal such as hot tubs and camper shells, and tires and electronics because of the fees attached to them. The same event's drop-off list names mattresses among accepted items.
Not confirmed: The accepted-items list is published for the drop-off, not restated for the curbside pickup, so a mattress is not expressly confirmed for it.
Not confirmed: No fee is stated and the page does not say the pickup is free, so no price is recorded.
Not confirmed: How senior or disability eligibility is verified is not published.

6Donation options in Fort Lupton
Most charities will not take a used mattress. These are the ones we checked, including the ones that say no.
- The Salvation Army (satruck.org): accepted-items list includes 'Mattresses' and beds; also says local ordinances and need vary by location and to call 1-800-SA-TRUCK to confirm what a local center accepts. Source

Policies vary by branch. Call before you carry one over — we asked each of the big three directly: Goodwill, the Salvation Army and Habitat for Humanity.
What Fort Lupton itself says
What we established about this city in particular — including where it runs nothing of its own and residents have to look elsewhere.
- Fort Lupton bills residents for water and sewer, not trash, and publishes no municipal refuse collection and no contracted town-wide hauler. The City's own list of utility providers serving Fort Lupton names water (City of Fort Lupton), waste water (Metro Water Recovery Northern Treatment Plant), electric (United Power), gas (Xcel Energy) and internet and fibre (Xfinity, Ripple Fiber, Allo Communications), and no refuse or recycling provider; the City's Utility Billing pages likewise cover only the water bill, the water rate schedule and water shut-off policy. The City's own Public Works index carries no trash or recycling page - Clean-Up Days and household hazardous waste disposal are its only solid-waste pages - and the Clean-Up Days page describes itself as being for items "not usually picked up by weekly rubbish removal services", the resident's own private service. Source Not confirmed: The City does not publish a positive statement of who collects household trash in Fort Lupton, so whether individual households contract privately or are covered by a district or HOA arrangement is not established from a City source. Not confirmed: No City page names a licensed-hauler list.
- Not an option: The Fort Lupton Food and Clothing Bank, 305 Denver Ave, Fort Lupton, CO 80621 (303-857-1096), is the town's own charity and does not take mattresses or furniture. Its site states what it will take: "At this time, the Fort Lupton Food and Clothing Bank accepts nonperishable food items donated from the public as well as meat and dairy donated by reputable, approved businesses", and "The Fort Lupton Food and Clothing Bank also takes donations of new and lightly used apparel items for its clothing bank" - work clothing, outerwear, shoes and children's clothes. Donations are taken Monday through Friday 8:00am to 2:00pm through the rear door, with the instruction "DO NOT DROP DONATIONS OUTSIDE!". Distribution hours are Monday through Friday 2:30 to 4:30pm. Source
- Not an option: Fort Lupton has no mattress-specific recycler or take-back. The City's solid-waste pages publish exactly three specialist diversion routes and a mattress is not among them: tire recycling at Clean-Up Days for a fee, electronics and CRT recycling at Clean-Up Days for a fee, and the Weld County household hazardous waste facility at 5500 Highway 52, Dacono (Wednesday, Friday and Saturday 9:00am-4:00pm, 970-400-2233, free to Weld County residents with a 200lb per household per day limit). Mattresses appear only on the general accepted-items list for the Clean-Up Days drop-off, with no recycling claim attached. Colorado runs no statewide mattress stewardship program, so there is no Bye Bye Mattress site here. Source
What Weld County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Fort Lupton and its neighbors.
- Not an option: Pawnee is an industrial-sector facility and explicitly rejects consumer and municipal solid waste. It requires an approved waste profile and manifest for accepted industrial loads. Historical 2024 reporting is retained; this is not a household mattress route and is not a closure finding. Source Not confirmed: No inference about other Weld facilities.
Colorado mattress disposal rules
- Resources page still labels its rate link 2023 Gate Rate Sheet, while the separate Disposal Rates page links a PDF explicitly titled 2026. Preserve the link-label discrepancy rather than interpreting every resource as current. Source
- CDPHE list of residential materials prohibited from Colorado solid waste sites: lead-acid batteries, free liquids, used oil, waste tires, electronic devices/computers. Mattresses not listed. No statewide mattress stewardship program or landfill ban found on CDPHE pages as of 2026-09-22; mattress disposal is handled by local governments. Source

What to check before you go
- Say if the mattress is wet, stained, or has any sign of pests — that is the usual reason one is turned away.
- Ask what the total will be. Box springs, stairs, and extra items are often charged separately.
- Check you qualify. Many sites serve only residents of their own city or county.
