Help! With fall in full effect, and leaves shin deep in my yard, where can I get rid of all these leaves here in Denver? While the changing leaves sure are beautiful and give brand new colors to our city, once they fall, they sure can be a pain. If you can't use them as compost in your yard, then why not give them to the city who can. Now through December 3rd, the cities LeafDrop program will have open drop off sites for you to dispose of your leaves properly and help the environment at the same time. For a full list of drop off sites, click here.
