Detailed Information About the Colorado New Trash and Rubbish Hauling License ($1,000) Bond:

Who needs the license

Chapter 8-04 of the Broomfield Municipal Code makes it unlawful to engage in the business of collecting trash, rubbish or garbage in the city without a license from the City Clerk. A hauler is defined as anyone who collects, transports or disposes of refuse, recyclables and other discarded materials for someone else, for a fee or for no fee, when that work is not merely incidental to other services. Residents and businesses hauling their own material do not need the license.

The bond

Section 8-04-070 makes the licensee solely responsible for disposing of the waste it collects, requires it to hold the city harmless from claims over collection or disposal, and requires a surety bond in the principal amount of $1,000.00 given to the city. The amount is the same for every hauler, whatever the fleet size. Licenses cannot be transferred, so a new owner needs its own license and its own bond.

Order of steps for a new applicant

Apply through the City Clerk's licensing portal and include your rate list, the number of vehicles in your fleet and a description of each. Once the application is approved, submit the fees and the $1,000 bond to the City Clerk's office. The license and a sticker for each truck are issued after that. Broomfield's page says to allow up to three weeks for processing.

Fees, term and renewal

The annual fee is $150.00 plus $1.00 per truck sticker. Every license expires on July 31, whatever month it was issued. Renewing licensees file a renewal application, the fees and a current surety bond in the portal before July 31. A new hauler starting partway through the year pays a prorated fee, but never less than half the annual amount under section 8-04-050.

Other duties that come with the license

Each truck needs the company name, address and phone number on both sides in letters at least five inches tall, a full cover, and a leakproof body. Licensees also file an annual tonnage report with the Broomfield City and County Clerk by January 31, covering landfill, recycling, compost and other material streams.

Confirm the current bond form with the City Clerk before the bond is issued.
