About 26 Minutes From My Golden Office
Junk Removal in Evergreen, CO
Cabins, Steep Drives, Slash Piles and Decks.
I'm Darius, and I run Denver Junk Solutions myself from an office at 18475 W Colfax Ave in Golden. Downtown Evergreen is about 26 minutes up the hill. Text me a photo of what needs to go, get a price back by text, and I haul it myself.

My Actual Rig
The Drive Up
Evergreen Jobs, Run From Golden.
From the office I take I-70 to Evergreen Parkway (Highway 74) and come in past El Rancho and Bergen Park, or run Highway 74 up Bear Creek Canyon from Morrison through Idledale and Kittredge. Downtown Evergreen is about 26 minutes away in free-flowing traffic.
There is no travel fee and no mountain surcharge. The only extra is for a very remote or hard-to-reach property, and you hear about it before I drive out.
The trailer turns around fine on the side roads off Highway 74, so most jobs get the full truck and trailer, about 9 packed yards a trip. Bigger cleanouts take two trips, still priced only by the yard.

A Real Evergreen Job
A Restaurant Pickup, Fit In the Same Day.
On September 22, 2026, a restaurant in Evergreen needed a big piece of kitchen equipment gone. It was a commercial job, and I fit it into that same day's route. Here is the Google review exactly as Tyler wrote it, with my reply.

Thanks, Tyler. Glad we could fit you in the same day and get that lowboy out of the restaurant. Evergreen is a quick run from Golden.

Business pickups are covered under commercial junk removal, and every review is on the reviews page, unedited.
Where I Pick Up
Every Side of Evergreen.
Jefferson County's Evergreen Area Plan names five activity centers (El Rancho, Bergen Park, North Evergreen, Downtown Evergreen and Kittredge) plus Marshdale, with homes in between from lakeside streets to long drives in the trees. I cover all of it.
Downtown and Evergreen Lake
The business strip along Highway 74 between Evergreen Lake and Meadow Drive, and the homes above it. Shop pickups, rentals and garages.
Bergen Park and El Rancho
The Evergreen Parkway side, first off I-70 and the quickest part of town to reach from Golden. Garage, basement and move-out cleanouts.
Hiwan
Hiwan Hills was developed in 1947. On its sloped lots, decks, walk-out lower levels and stairs often shape the job. Stairs are $25 a flight.
Kittredge Along Bear Creek
The canyon town on Highway 74, whose old summer cabins the county plan names as historic features worth preserving. It is on the way in when I come up from junk removal in Morrison.
Upper Bear Creek
Up the creek from downtown along Upper Bear Creek Road, with longer drives and bigger lots. Send a photo of the drive with your items.
Highway 73 South to Marshdale
South along Highway 73, where the county plans for low-density homes and open land to stay. Brook Forest Road is covered too.
Place names and descriptions checked September 2026 in Jefferson County's Evergreen Area Plan.
No Town Trash Truck
Who Picks Up Trash in Evergreen?
Evergreen is not an incorporated town. The U.S. Census Bureau counts it as a census designated place, which it defines as a closely settled, unincorporated community, and Jefferson County plans its land use. The county's plan says most basic services come from local public and private sources.
For trash, that means no city program and no free large-item day like Golden's. Each household signs up with a private hauler, or an HOA holds one contract for the neighborhood. The Promontory at Soda Creek HOA, for example, says its board negotiated a multi-year Waste Management contract. Either way, the weekly cart is built for household trash, not a couch or a garage of old boxes.
Text me instead of your hauler when:
- It won't fit in the cart: furniture, mattresses, a garage or a basement full of boxes
- It sits on a deck, in a walk-out lower level or down a flight of stairs
- You are closing up or selling a cabin and live out of state
Checked September 2026: the Census Bureau's census designated place definition and Evergreen CDP profile, Jefferson County's Evergreen Area Plan, and the Promontory at Soda Creek HOA's website.
Wildfire Mitigation
Brush and Slash: Chipper, Slash Yard or Hauler.
Thinning trees around a mountain home leaves slash. The Colorado State Forest Service says to chip it, haul it to a disposal site or pile it in the open to burn later, and to keep it as far from the house as possible. Two public programs are worth using when your piles fit their rules. The full rundown of fall slash dates and rules is in my foothills brush and slash guide.
Evergreen Fire/Rescue Chipping
For Evergreen Fire Protection District residents only, first come, first served: $125 for five piles of 5 by 5 by 5 feet.
Piles go within 5 feet of the road, never on a driveway, nothing over 8 inches thick, and no rakings, juniper, rot, root wads or treated lumber. The district warns its vehicles may not reach steep or curvy driveways.
Jefferson County SLASH Yards
The Evergreen yard, the Marshdale Property at 26624 N Turkey Creek Rd, ran July 30 to September 13 in 2026. Tincup Ridge, 101 Rooney Rd in Golden, runs Friday to Sunday through October 25.
A 6-yard load is $24, credit card only. Clean slash only, pine needles separated, and no lumber, stumps or loose leaves.
Hire me for the slash when:
- The piles sit down a steep or curvy drive, or on the driveway itself
- It is mixed with old fencing, lumber or deck boards the chipper and the slash yards refuse
- The chipping dates are full or the Marshdale yard has closed for the year
Brush and slash are priced by the yard like everything else: $149 for the first 2 cubic yards, then $75 a yard. I don't take dirt or sod. More on the brush and yard waste removal page.
Checked September 2026 on Evergreen Fire/Rescue's chipping program page, Jefferson County's SLASH collection page and 2026 calendar, and the Colorado State Forest Service's home ignition zone checklists. Yards can close for weather, so confirm first.
Second Homes
Cabins and Second Homes, Handled From Out of State.
Plenty of foothills property belongs to people who live elsewhere: a family cabin, a rental between tenants, a parent's house being sold. You don't have to fly in to get it emptied.
1. Send Photos
You, a neighbor or a property manager texts photos of each room or pile. The price comes back usually within 10 minutes during business hours.
2. Pick a Window
Every booking gets an arrival window. Put gate codes, shared drives and where to park in the text.
3. Approve and Load
Inside the house, someone 18 or older approves the price and points out what stays. Items left in the garage or on the driveway can go with nobody home.
Clearing the whole place is covered under estate and cabin cleanouts, and a packed garage under garage cleanouts.
Access Notes
Steep Drives, Decks and Hot Tubs.
Getting the Rig to the Door
Tell me about the drive when you book: steep, gravel, shared, gated or tight at the top. A photo helps most. When a drive is too tight for the trailer, the Silverado runs the load alone.
- Stairs are $25 a flight. Deck stairs and walk-out lower levels count; a single step at the door doesn't.
- A carry over 100 feet from where the rig parks is $40.
Hot Tubs on Decks
Hot tub removal starts at $349: the tub's yards plus a removal fee of $150 to $250 set by access, so a typical four-person tub comes to $524 to $624. A deck, stairs or a long carry pushes the fee toward the top, and a tub that won't come out whole gets cut into sections on site.
Drain it and cut the power at the breaker first. An easy disconnect and drain is quoted per job; a hardwired tub needs an electrician. Freeing an installed or deck-built tub costs extra, priced by access. More on the hot tub removal page.
Priced by the Yard
What Evergreen Jobs Cost.
$149 for the first 2 cubic yards, then $75 a yard. No travel fee, no fuel fee, no dump fee. Stairs, long carries and heavy material are the only extras, and you approve the price on site before I start.
| Load | Yards | Price |
|---|---|---|
| One couch or a mattress set | Up to 2 | $149 |
| A sectional, or a small brush pile | 3 to 4 | $224 to $299 |
| Full 1-car garage | 6 to 8 | $449 to $599 |
| A packed basement or lower level | 4 to 10 | $299 to $749 |
| Whole cabin or house (two trips) | 10 to 20 | $749 to $1,499 |
The Only Extras
- Stairs: $25 a flight
- Carry over 100 ft: $40
- Heavy material: $25 a yard
- Tires: $15 each
- Hot tub removal fee: $150 to $250 by access
- A very remote or hard-access property: quoted as access before I drive out
Never Charged
Travel, a mountain or foothills surcharge, fuel, dump fees, sweep-up, a second trip on a big job, or the quote itself.
Rules of thumb, confirmed on site. The full yard table is on the pricing page, and the junk removal cost guide explains what moves the number.
Where It Lands
Where Your Load Goes Down the Hill.
Most loads go to an STS transfer station, North in Denver or South in Englewood, whichever is on the route.
Good-condition furniture and household items sometimes go to Goodwill or the Salvation Army, and big loads of scrap metal get recycled.
Off the Trailer
Paint, Chemicals and Propane.
I can't haul wet paint, chemicals, solvents, motor oil, gasoline or propane tanks. Evergreen Fire/Rescue points residents to the Rooney Road Recycling Center at 151 S Rooney Rd in Golden for hazardous waste.
Propane tanks, it says, can be left at the Amerigas gate at 30455 Bryant Dr in Evergreen. Source: Evergreen Fire/Rescue's hazardous waste page, checked September 2026.

Evergreen Questions
Asked From Up the Hill.
How much does junk removal cost in Evergreen?
$149 covers the first 2 cubic yards: one couch, a mattress and box spring, or a few small items. After that it is $75 a yard, so 4 yards is $299 and 8 yards is $599. Stairs are $25 a flight, and you approve the price on site before anything is loaded. If another hauler quotes you less, see what a $99 junk removal quote actually covers.
Do you charge extra to come up to Evergreen?
No. Downtown Evergreen is about 26 minutes from my office in Golden, and there is no travel fee, fuel fee or mountain surcharge. The only extra is for a very remote or hard-to-reach property, and you hear about it before I drive out.
Is there a free way to get rid of junk in Evergreen?
Not for bulky items, because Evergreen has no town trash program or free large-item day. For slash, Evergreen Fire/Rescue chipping ($125 for five piles, district residents only) and the Jefferson County slash yards ($24 a load) cost less if your piles fit their rules. Good furniture can be donated if you can deliver it.
How do I get rid of a mattress in Evergreen?
A mattress and box spring is about 2 cubic yards, so it is $149 on its own, with no extra mattress fee. With other junk it is simply part of the yards, and I carry it out.
Can you remove a hot tub from a deck?
Usually, yes. It starts at $349: the tub's yards plus a removal fee of $150 to $250 set by access, so a typical four-person tub is $524 to $624. A tub that won't come off whole gets cut into sections on site. Freeing an installed or deck-built tub costs extra, priced by access.
Can your truck and trailer get up a steep driveway?
Most of the time. The trailer turns around fine on the side roads off Highway 74. Send a photo of your drive with the items, and I will tell you before the day whether the trailer comes up or the truck runs the load alone.
Do I need to be home for the pickup?
Not always. If everything is in the garage, on the driveway or at the curb, leave it and I text you a photo when it is done. For anything inside, someone 18 or older needs to let me in and point out what goes.
