No appointment is necessary. Commercial waste is not accepted.<\/p>\n<p>Residents in the Niwot area should note that service boundaries may differ from city limits. For properties in unincorporated Boulder County, contact Housing &amp; Human Services at (303) 441-1955 to verify eligibility and requirements.<\/p>\n<p>Transportation access remains a key concern.

RTD routes B, J, and BOLT serve major corridors.<\/p>\n<h3>How to Participate<\/h3>\n<p>Safety data from the Niwot area shows 5 reported incidents in the past 12 months, a 5% change from the previous year. The Sheriff&#8217;s Office has increased patrols along Arapahoe Road and added community outreach programs in response to resident feedback.<\/p>\n<p>Public comment on this matter can be submitted through the Boulder County online portal, by email to Housing &amp; Human Services, or in person at the next Board of County Commissioners meeting. Written comments received by 5:00 PM the day before the hearing will be included in the public record.<\/p>\n<h3>Background<\/h3>\n<p>Funding of $392,000 for this initiative comes from a combination of federal grants, state matching funds, and the Boulder County General Fund. The Board of County Commissioners approved the allocation during the 2024 budget session.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boulder County residents can safely dispose of household hazardous waste including paint, solvents, pesticides, batteries, and electronics at a free collection event on Saturday, April 19 at the Boulder County Fairgrounds.
