Garbage & Recycling

TrailMark’s collection day is on Tuesdays, 7:00 am-7:00 pm. Trash/recycling must be to the curb by 7:00 am, but not the night before [TrailMark’s Trash Policy]. The trash company is only allowed – by law – to collect trash/recycling from 7:00 am-7:00 pm (due to noise).

Please check the TrailMark website calendar for special pick-up days around the holidays (New Year’s, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day & Christmas Day).

TRASH SERVICE PROBLEMS?  Did you know that when you experience problems with your trash or recycling not being picked up from your street, Republic Services can arrange to have the trash picked up in the next day or two. For a timely response, please contact Republic Services at 303-744-9881 and ask for a “missed pick-up.”

If you have trash service issues, please contact Republic Services or TrailMark’s Property Manager to report the issue.

Republic Services agreed to three consecutive days where Republic will come into TrailMark and switch our old GFL/Alpine Trash and Recycle cans with ONE new Republic Trash can, and ONE new Republic Recycle can. Your old GFL/Alpine Trash and Recycle cans will be recycled once they are swapped with the new Republic totes.

  • All residents in the 659 single family homes will receive ONE 96 gallon trash can, and ONE 96 gallon recycle can.
  • All residents in the 68 Star Canyon Patio Homes will receive ONE 65 gallon trash can, and ONE 65 gallon recycle can.
  • All residents in the 72 Star Canyon Condos will receive ONE 65 gallon trash can, and ONE 65 gallon recycle can.

For point of clarification, due to public feedback at previous HOA meetings, residents in the Star Canyon Patio Homes and Condos expressed the need for smaller 65 gallon totes since those residents are limited on storage.

Please write these dates down on your calendar so you can assist Republic with changing out your trash and recycle cans with new ones.

On August 13th, 14th and 15th, please leave your ONE current GFL/Alpine Trash can and your ONE current GFL/Alpine Recycle can in your normal pick-up spot for trash day. PLEASE LEAVE YOUR TRASH CAN AND RECYCLE CAN EMPTY AND FREE OF TRASH AND RECYCLED MATERIAL.  

On August 13th (trash day) it’s okay to have the trash cans and recycle bins full like usual, because the switching of trash/recycle cans will follow immediately after trash/recycle pick up. Trash and Recycle cans should be left empty on August 14th and 15th.

On either August 13th, 14th, or 15th, Republic will eventually stop by your house and haul away your old trash and recycle can, and replace it with ONE new trash can and ONE new recycle can. Once you receive your new trash and recycle cans, we kindly ask that you store them in the place that you normally store your trash and recycle cans.

​If you need a sticker for your recycling can, email Ken Colaizzi at president@trailmark.org and he will deliver it to your house. Please include your name and address.

One sticker per recycle container.

Please remember, you purchased a home that is close to wildlife. This means that leaving trash cans out will attract bears, raccoons, etc. As a member of the community, putting your trash cans in the garage is the best way to avoid unwanted visitors in your yard or your neighbor’s yard. The rule for trash day is that your container cannot be out before the morning of pick-up. This also helps to keep the unwanted visitors out of the neighborhood.
