About Larimer County

Larimer County is one of Colorado’s original 17 counties, established in 1861 and named after General William Larimer Jr., a founder of the city of Denver. The county seat is Fort Collins, home to Colorado State University (CSU), one of the largest universities in the state and a major center for research and education. Larimer County shares its western border with the iconic Rocky Mountain National Park, one of the most visited national parks in the United States, and is home to the popular gateway town of Estes Park. The county also features Horsetooth Reservoir, a beloved local landmark for boating, fishing, and outdoor recreation. With a thriving craft beer scene centered in Fort Collins—dubbed the Craft Beer Capital of Colorado—and a rapidly growing population, Larimer County blends college-town vitality with stunning mountain landscapes. We’re proud to serve all Larimer County communities, from Fort Collins and Loveland to Estes Park, Berthoud, Wellington, and all surrounding areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you pick up junk from a mountain cabin near Estes Park or Red Feather Lakes?

Yes. We serve mountain communities throughout Larimer County, including Estes Park, Red Feather Lakes, Glen Haven, and Drake. Mountain pickups may require scheduling in advance due to road access and drive time—call us and we’ll confirm availability and give you an honest quote that reflects the location.

I’m moving out of a CSU rental in Fort Collins — can you haul everything at once?

Absolutely. CSU move-outs are one of our most common Fort Collins jobs, especially at the end of spring semester. We can clear out furniture, mattresses, electronics, and everything left behind in a single trip. We sort everything on the spot—donations go to Habitat for Humanity ReStore or Goodwill of Northern Colorado, mattresses go through the MRC program, and the rest heads to the Taft Hill Road facility.

How much does a full garage cleanout cost in Larimer County?

Pricing is based on truck volume, not the number of items or hours worked. A typical garage cleanout in Fort Collins or Loveland runs between a quarter and a full truckload depending on how packed the space is. We give you a firm, no-obligation quote on-site before we touch anything—so there are no surprises when the job is done.

Do you serve rural areas like Livermore or Virginia Dale?

We do. Larimer County is one of Colorado’s largest counties by area, and we cover it fully—including its rural northern corridor near the Wyoming border. If you’re in Livermore, Virginia Dale, or anywhere off US-287, give us a call. We’ll let you know our next available slot for your area.
