Why some things cost money and most things don’t.

Most of what we take is free — scrap metal, computers, batteries, lawnmowers, small electronics. We make our money on the back end, when those materials are sold on.

The priced items are the ones that cost more to handle than they return, usually because the law requires a specific process or because the thing itself has to be taken apart by hand:

  • Screens and electronics — banned from Colorado landfills since 2013 (Senate Bill 12-133). Every set is broken down here by hand.
  • Fridges, freezers, AC units — the refrigerant has to be recovered by someone certified before the metal can be scrapped. That’s federal law, not our policy.
  • Tires, paint, rechargeable and car batteries — landfill-banned or restricted, all handled separately.
  • Mattresses and box springs — no law, just genuinely difficult. See below.

Every price is on this page before you load the truck. Nobody should be finding out what something costs when they’re already at the gate.

Why mattresses cost what they cost

This is the price we get asked about most, so here is the honest answer.

23 ft³
A single mattress can still take up 23 cubic feet of landfill space even after being compacted. Coils resist flattening and the cover stops the thing crushing evenly, so it never packs down the way ordinary waste does. Haulers end up moving volume instead of weight — more trips, more fuel, for almost no tonnage.
~25 lb
of steel inside a typical mattress. Those springs are the real problem at a landfill: the coils wrap around compactor and shredder machinery and have to be cut free by hand. That means stopping the line, and someone climbing in with cutters. It is the single most common reason a site refuses them outright.
18.2M
mattresses are thrown out in the US every year — about 50,000 a day — and only around 19% get recycled. The rest are buried, steel and all, in a space they will occupy more or less permanently.

Which is why almost nowhere takes them for free, and plenty of places won’t take them at all. Transfer stations that do accept mattresses generally charge per piece, and the fee has been climbing everywhere as sites tighten up on what they will let through the gate.

We take them because we pull them apart instead of burying them. The steel, the foam and the timber frame all come out and go to three different places. 80–95% of a mattress is recoverable once somebody does that work by hand — and the price on this page is that work, not a dumping fee.

TVs & Flat Screens

Priced by the diagonal size in inches — and you don’t need a tape measure. The screen size is almost always the first two digits of the model number.

Why screens aren’t free.

Electronics have been banned from Colorado landfills since 2013 — Senate Bill 12-133, the Electronic Recycling Jobs Act. It covers TVs, monitors, computers, printers, tablets and games consoles, and it applies to households, not just businesses. A TV can’t legally go in the trash anywhere in this state.

So every screen in Colorado has to go somewhere that costs someone money. We’re that somewhere. Every set we take is broken down by hand here, the components separated, and each material stream shipped on to be recycled. That labour is what the per-inch price pays for — not a disposal fee, not a surcharge. The work itself.

It’s also why the price scales with the screen. A bigger panel is more glass, more board, more plastic, and more time on the bench.

Read the model number instead. MODEL NO. UN 55 TU8000 55″ screen → $55 Sticker is on the back of the TV, or on the box.

Almost every TV has its screen size hidden in the model number, printed on a sticker on the back or on the box. Skip the first letter or two — the next two digits are usually the size in inches.

UN55TU8000 is a 55″  ·  OLED65C1PUB is a 65″  ·  TC43S454 is a 43″

So a 55″ flat screen is $55. It's a rule of thumb, not a law — and it usually doesn't hold on computer monitors, so those are worth measuring.

Still unsure? Text a photo of the sticker to 719-644-6419 and we'll price it for you.

One trip, not three

We take refrigerants

Refrigerators, freezers, mini-fridges, water coolers and AC units. Most electronics recyclers can't accept anything with refrigerant in it at all — we're set up for it.

And everything else

Mattresses, box springs, couches, chairs, appliances, TVs, computers, batteries, tires, cardboard and scrap metal. One stop, one payment.
