Place your items on the street, entirely off your property, by 7 a.m. the morning of your scheduled collection.
Items left in the yard, driveway or on the sidewalk are not hauled away; the pile belongs on the street where you would parallel park a car.

How days are assigned
How Thornton assigns collection days.
Thornton publishes a per-address collection calendar (Thornton collection calendar) through the ReCollect service. There is no single citywide weekday to quote: each address has its own dated calendar, which is why the lookup shows upcoming dates for your property.
We last checked Thornton on August 17, 2026: 11 of 12 addresses returned an exact collection day. The days they returned were Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. That is what our check saw, not a full list of Thornton's pickup days.
