Who collects trash in Aurora, how trash day works, and which holidays move pickup. Checked against official city and hauler pages on Oct 15, 2026.
Aurora has no city-run or city-contracted residential trash service. City Code Ch. 114 says every home in a residential zone must have trash picked up at least weekly by a city-registered private hauler, and each owner or HOA chooses and pays its own hauler. Pickup days and holiday changes therefore depend on the hauler, and often differ from one HOA or street to the next. Carts may not go out before 5 p.m. the day before pickup and must be brought back within 12 hours after pickup.
Residents choose a hauler.
WM's Aurora page lists 866-849-0076 for commercial and dumpster calls; residential customers manage service through My WM. The page has no holiday schedule. Other registered haulers also work in Aurora; ask your HOA which one serves your street.
No city service at all: single-family owners, HOAs, apartments and businesses each contract a registered private hauler (owners can apply for a self-haul exemption under Sec. 114-29(b)).
Set by each private hauler, or by the HOA's contract with its hauler. There is no city map or zone system.
Recycling: varies. Recycling is offered by private haulers (WM's page lists curbside recycling). How often it is picked up depends on the hauler and contract; the city publishes no rule.
Carts out: Not before 5 p.m. the day before collection. Carts may not stay at the curb, front yard or street-facing corner side yard more than 12 hours after collection. Source
Sec. 114-29(a) requires collection at least once a week. Sec. 86-732 says no trash hauler may operate in the city without a certificate of registration.
Aurora hasn’t posted a holiday schedule for the rest of 2026; no 2027 schedule was found.
The city publishes no holiday schedule because it doesn't collect trash, and WM's Aurora page has none either. Check holiday changes with each HOA's hauler.
No dates to list yet. Check Aurora’s page and each hauler before each holiday week.
Bins get cleaned right after pickup, so when a holiday moves trash day, your route moves with it. In Clean Bin System you give each zone its hauler and add the hauler’s holidays once: that week’s cleanings move with the pickup, and each customer gets a text. See how it works
