Red Beards is great! Appreciate their great customer service and kindness. I am glad to have a local small business servicing our area. I highly recommend Red Beards!
- John L Trash Service
I recently moved to Palmer Lake, Colorado, and started using Red Beard trash service. All I can say is, Wow! I never expected a trash collection service to be so personable and kind. Just today, I forgot to put my trash out. They walked my long driveway and knocked on my door to ask if I forgot to put my trashcan out. Then I realized they had already texted my son-in-law, because they had his number, to see if he had forgotten to put it out. Talk about going above and beyond! I highly recommend them. It is a husband and wife team who do an excellent and unexpectedly personable job at this. Props to them.

- Ruth Schlichenmeyer Trash Service
This business is the best. So nice to communicate with an actual person! I would highly recommend switching to this service!
- Donna Merrifield Trash Service
I just switched to Red Beard's Trash Service in Monument, CO and could not be more pleased with the service as it is punctual and reliable as well as cost effective. Al and Liz Mason have provided mowing services, fire mitigation and sometimes snow removal for me for many years now. They are a reliable and friendly family run business in our own community. They did a fantastic job on clearing about a third or more of my five acres of land of oak brush in order to help lower my fire risk for much less than many companies. Al responds quickly to calls in person. I can't say enough about how much they have helped me with their many skills and kindness over these last years and I highly recommend them! Great people!
- Jane McNally Trash Service
I had the same trash service for 34 years but after 4 acquisitions, the most current company just wasn't cutting it. So, I made the leap and went with Red Beards Trash Co. All I can say is they are amazing. Not only is their pricing the best in the area but their service is amazing. I tend to have a lot of trash during the spring months due to cleanup of the property. I had my bin out with one extra bag (they give you two) and an extra bag was kept far back from where my pickup was because I didn't want to overwhelm them with more than necessary. They came and I went out to bring my bin in and that extra bag, that was clearly not meant to be picked up was gone. This is a local, family owned business that goes above and beyond and you won't be sorry. Make the switch to Red Beards Trash Co!
- T F Trash Service
Wonderful service. The last trash company was very unreliable. I forgot to put out the trash and they called and picked it up later. No other company would have done this.
Frequently Asked Questions
El Paso County accepts only six specific recyclable materials: old corrugated cardboard (must be flattened), glass food and beverage containers (no lids or corks), aluminum cans, tin cans (paper labels removed), newspaper, and office paper (minimum 8½ x 11 size). All items must be clean and free of food residue before pickup. Our Pro-Pactor compactor technology handles these materials more efficiently than traditional collection methods, with sealed containers preventing contamination from weather while reducing collection trips by 40%. Unlike other Colorado counties, El Paso County does not accept plastic items, foam products, plastic bags, or mixed materials in curbside recycling, so it's important to follow these guidelines to avoid contamination issues.
First, integrated service is more convenient and ensures consistent pickup schedules for both trash and recycling, whereas separate services can lead to confusion and missed collections. This means that combined service has the potential to improve your recycling habits and maintain better environmental practices over time. Additionally, integrated pickup creates a more streamlined waste management routine that Monument families prefer and reduces the complexity of managing multiple service providers. It is also generally more cost-effective and environmentally responsible compared to using separate companies for trash and recycling. Finally, integrated service with our Pro-Pactor technology can maximize environmental benefits because our advanced compactor system handles both waste streams efficiently, reducing overall collection trips and community carbon footprint while providing comprehensive service at family business pricing.
For items not accepted in El Paso County curbside recycling, Monument residents can visit the El Paso County Household Hazardous Waste Facility at 3255 Akers Drive, Colorado Springs (719-520-7878). They accept electronics, batteries, paint, chemicals, and other hazardous materials on weekdays 8:30 AM-Noon and 1:00-4:00 PM, plus select Saturdays. For bulky recyclables like appliances or furniture, contact local recyclers like Urban Recycling or E-Tech Recyclers in Colorado Springs. If you're unsure about disposal options for specific items, call our Monument team at (719) 400-8011 and we'll help direct you to the appropriate facility.
To prepare recyclables for our Pro-Pactor collection, rinse all containers clean of food residue and remove labels from tin cans. Flatten all cardboard boxes completely and remove any plastic tape or foam inserts. Place glass containers without lids or corks, and keep different materials separated in your recycling bin. Set recycling bins at the curb by 7 AM on your scheduled pickup day, at least 3 feet apart from trash bins and other obstacles to allow our Pro-Pactor equipment proper access. Never bag recyclables - items should be loose in the bin for efficient compactor processing. Avoid contamination by keeping recyclables dry and never mixing non-recyclable items like plastic, foam, or hazardous materials. Following these El Paso County guidelines helps our Monument team maintain efficient service and maximizes your family's environmental impact through proper recycling practices.
