Trash & Recycling

Included in your quarterly CAB fees are fees for trash and recycling service. These services are provided by Waste Connections of Colorado.

Pickup Schedule

  • For Providence Village, trash is picked up weekly on Monday, and recycling is picked up every other Monday. 
  • For Ascent & Prospect Villages, trash is picked up weekly on Tuesday, and recycling is picked up every other Tuesday. 

Make sure to place bins outside by 7:00 am in order for trash pickup. Containers for pickup may be placed on the street or alleyway the morning of pick-up and must be returned to an appropriately screened location by the end of the pick-up day. Please be aware Sterling Ranch is home to various different types of wildlife! Proper trash cart storage is essential to the safety of the community and those that inhabit it.
