Junk Removal From Downtown Golden to Golden Gate Canyon
Home Base, 8 Minutes Out.
I'm Darius, and I run Denver Junk Solutions from an office at 18475 W Colfax Ave. Downtown Golden is about 8 minutes away. Text me a photo, get a price back, and I haul it myself.
- $149 for the first 2 cubic yards, then $75 a yard
- No travel fee anywhere in Golden, Golden Gate Canyon included
- You approve the price on site before I start
One Storage Unit, About One Hour.
The customer met me at the gate of a Golden storage facility. The unit was a full 10 by 10 of furniture and boxes. I backed up to the roll-up door, loaded it straight onto the trailer, swept the floor, and it was empty in about an hour.
That job was $349 under the flat pricing I used at the time. Today a unit is priced by the yard like everything else. A half-full 10x10 is often 6 to 10 yards, which is $449 to $749, and you see the number at the unit before anything moves. The gate-to-key process is on the storage unit cleanout in Golden page.

Golden, Neighborhood by Neighborhood.
Golden changes a lot from one side of town to the other, and so does the pickup. Here is what each part of town usually calls me for and how the truck gets in. For the big picture on junk removal in Golden, CO, start at the home page.
Downtown, Washington Ave & Clear Creek
The historic core has older homes, small lots and narrow alleys. The pickup tucks in where a box truck cannot. Detached garages and basements are the usual job. About 8 minutes out.
Around Colorado School of Mines
Student rentals pile up at the end of each semester: mattresses, futons, desks and whatever the last tenant left. A mattress and box spring is about 2 yards, so $149. About 6 minutes out.
South Golden, 6th Ave & Highway 93
Open driveways along the corridors make these the easiest trailer jobs in town. Full garages and whole-home cleanouts usually clear in one trip, and the biggest take two.
Mesa Meadows
Settled streets below South Table Mountain, where garages and basements have been filling for years. A packed basement commonly runs 4 to 10 yards.
Golden Hills & North Table Mountain
Tucked-in lots and tighter driveways. Send a photo of the drive with your items and I will say whether the trailer comes or the truck runs it alone.
Pleasant View
The unincorporated pocket on Golden's east side, toward Arvada. Older properties with detached garages and plenty of stored gear. A little farther east, see junk removal in Applewood.
Out Golden Gate Canyon Road
About 18 minutes from the office. Longer drives and bigger lots, often with brush, old fencing and years of stored gear. 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.
Golden's Free Pickups, and When a Hauler Fits Better.
Golden runs its own trash program. The city contracts 5280 Waste Solutions for Pay-As-You-Throw households, and two parts of it can save you money before you call anyone.
Large Item Pickup, Once a Year
Every participating household gets one large item picked up per calendar year at no extra cost. Call 5280 Waste Solutions at 303-277-8727 to book it.
The city's examples of what it takes include a sofa, loveseat, recliner, dresser, desk, table and bundled carpet. It does not take cement, bricks, rocks, dirt, tires, stumps, TVs, electronics, paint or hazardous waste.
Yard Waste Collection Days
Twice a year, spring and fall, a separate truck collects yard waste on your trash day. The next round is November 2 to 6, 2026, out by 7 a.m.
Each resident is capped at 3 cubic yards. Branches must be under 4 feet long and no thicker than 4 inches, and it turns away stumps, dirt, treated lumber, logs and construction material.
Call me instead when:
- You have more than one big item, or you already used this year's free pickup
- It is inside, in a basement, or up a flight of stairs and you don't want to drag it to the curb
- It is on the city's no list: brick, concrete and tile go at the heavy-material rate of $25 a yard extra, and tires are $15 each
- Your brush pile is bigger than the city cap or cannot wait until November. See yard waste removal in Golden
- You live out Golden Gate Canyon or in unincorporated Pleasant View and are not on the city program
Checked September 2026 on the City of Golden's trash, recycling and compost page and its Yard Waste Collection Days page. Confirm dates with the city before you plan around them.
What Golden Jobs Usually Cost.
$149 for the first 2 cubic yards, then $75 a yard. No travel fee, no fuel fee, no dump fee. Stairs are $25 a flight, a carry over 100 feet is $40, and heavy material is $25 a yard extra. Every extra is written down before I start.
Mines Move-Out
A mattress set or one couch, up to 2 yards
Basement
Commonly 4 to 10 yards, plus $25 a flight
1-Car Garage
A full single bay is 6 to 8 yards
Half-Full 10x10 Unit
Often 6 to 10 yards
Garages are the most common Golden call, especially the detached ones behind older homes downtown and in Pleasant View. The garage cleanout in Golden and basement cleanout in Golden pages walk through those jobs. The full yard table is on the pricing page, and the junk removal cost guide compares it with other haulers.
The Truck vs. The Trailer.
- Smaller loads ride in the Silverado's bed, which fits the downtown alleys
- Bigger jobs get the 6x10 dump trailer. Truck and trailer hold about 9 packed yards a trip
- A 15-yard whole-home job is two trips, still priced only by the yard
- Tight parking or a steep drive? Say so when you book and I plan the spot
Where Your Load Actually Goes.
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.
The Towns Next Door.
When you call, you get me, and I'm the one who shows up. The same short drive covers the towns around Golden, each with its own trash rules and housing.
- Junk removal in Morrison, about 8 minutes from the office
- Junk removal in Arvada, from Olde Town out to Candelas
