The Town provides residential curbside, recycling and refuse collection. All services are provided by Bruin Waste Management and are billed by the Town of Ridgway. When collection days fall on a holiday, items will be picked up the following day. For questions call (970) 626-5308 x210. Collection services are not provided for commercial properties or multi-family residences over 8 units.
