Recycling
The City does not provide trash or recycling pickup. This page will help you find a recycling option, whether you're recycling everyday household items, electronics or a Christmas tree.
Household Recycling
Your trash provider may offer recycling as part of your service. Contact your provider to see what they offer.
Visit our Trash and Utilities page for provider information.
Visit our Clean and Green page for more ways to reduce waste.
To find a recycler for a specific item, such as batteries or paint, use the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment's recycling search tool.
Electronics
The City of Centennial generally hosts an electronic recycling event every spring. Please check back in March 2027 for additional details.
Our 2026 Electronic Recycling Events were a huge success! With the support of our dedicated staff, volunteers, and the Centennial community, 1,074 vehicles came through our spring and fall events to responsibly recycle their electronics. Together, we kept about 43 tons of e-waste out of landfills and raised $9,787 for local organizations. A big thank-you goes out to our spring event sponsor, Jacobs, and to our recycling partners: PedalPoint Lifecycle Solutions (doing business as Techno Rescue), and IER Pro, ITAD Electronics Recyclers, our fall event partner.
Colorado law bans throwing away electronics, such as TVs and computers, in the trash. The City does not offer year-round electronics recycling, but you can find a recycler near you using the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment's recycling search tool.
Some neighborhoods host their own electronics recycling events. Contact your neighborhood association to ask about one near you.
Christmas Trees
The City partners with Trails Park and Recreation District and South Suburban Parks and Recreation District every December through January to provide residents with an opportunity to appropriately and safely dispose Christmas trees. Check back here in December for specific details such as dates and locations.
