What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Colorado

My ex-boyfriend stayed with me for a period of time. He had my house full of crap. He then assaulted me, was in jail and prison. He have his daughter permission to sell most of the stuff, other than furniture, etc.

He was released from prison, and stayed with me for a while. He has been gone two months and will still not make time to get the rest of his things. Every time he sets a date, he calls and cancels it. My place is very small and this is hazardous as well as annoying. His name has never been on my lease and he now has his own home and lease.

Can I send him a certified letter giving him 15 days from the date of the letter to work with me to remove his possessions (and return my keys, which he also refuses to do) and when he does not comply, can I simply throw them away?

I cannot find any true legal words to this topic online and all of my emails to attorneys about free initial consultations go unanswered. I'm desperate to get this man out of my life.

Oh - he never had a lease, never paid rent, etc. He was there strictly out of the ridiculous goodness of my heart.

Caveat: He also has an automatic restraining order not to intimidate or harass me. At what point does his repeated passive aggressive refusal to remove his possessions and threaten to sue me if I toss them become harassment and therefore violate his parole? (I realize that might be for a different forum).
