• Severance runs no trash service and holds no town-wide hauler contract. The town's trash page states plainly that 'Independent companies provide trash removal and recycling services.' It names no hauler at all. It adds an instruction specific to a town built largely of new subdivisions: before engaging any trash company, residents should check with their 'Home Owners Association or Metro District', because some subdivisions contract waste service for their residents within their dues. There is therefore no municipal bulky-item collection, no allowance and no town fee for a mattress in Severance; the answer is whatever the household's own hauler or metro district offers, plus the town's separate Clean Up Days voucher (see co-f-severance-002). Source Not confirmed: The town names no haulers and publishes no list of licensed companies, so no Severance-specific hauler bulky terms could be checked against a primary town source Not confirmed: The town does not name which subdivisions or metro districts contract waste service, so a resident cannot tell from the page whether their dues already cover collection Not confirmed: Severance set-out windows, container rules and illegal-dumping penalties were not retrieved from the Severance Municipal Code
• Severance changed its clean-up program for 2026 and now subsidizes the county landfill instead of collecting anything itself, which is the answer a Severance resident with a mattress actually needs. The town's page states that because of the Community Park renovation and full park closure it has 'transitioned to a voucher-based cleanup program for this year', and that 'Instead of curb-side collection or a local drop-off site, the Town has adopted a Weld County Landfill voucher program.' Terms published: a limited number of vouchers, '$125 value per voucher', one voucher per Town of Severance household (property annexed into the Town of Severance), first come first served while supplies last, lost vouchers not replaced, and the physical voucher must be brought to the landfill to be redeemed. Each voucher allows 'ONE vehicle load' of items 'up to $125 at the Weld County Landfill, 40000 Weld County Road 25 Ault, CO 80610', with residents responsible for any charges above $125 payable at the time of disposal. Vouchers were available from May 1, 2026 at Severance Town Hall (Monday-Friday 8am-12pm and 1pm-5pm, plus Tuesday evenings during Town Council meetings on May 12, June 9, July 14 and July 28) and expire July 31, 2026. The page states three emphatic negatives: 'There will be NO curb-side pickup in 2026', 'There will be NO on-site drop-off location', and clean-up services are available 'only through the voucher program'. As of this review the page carries a notice that the town is 'officially out of Clean Up Vouchers for this year's Clean Up Days'. Town Hall is 3 South Timber Ridge Parkway, 970-686-1218. Source Not confirmed: The page does not list accepted or excluded items itself; it refers residents to the North Weld Landfill page, so mattress acceptance and the mattress gate price at that landfill are not established by this source Not confirmed: The voucher window for 2026 has closed and the vouchers are exhausted, and the page does not say whether the voucher program will run again in 2027 or whether curbside collection returns after the park reopens Not confirmed: This town voucher is described as a Weld County Landfill voucher but is issued by the Town of Severance; its relationship to the separate county-wide Weld County large-item voucher program is not explained on the page

• 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
