Denver LeafDrop sites. Recycle your leaves this year.

It's about that time of year again, time to rake up all the leaves from your yard. Once you and your kids are done jumping in them, the fun part is over and you have to figure out how to get rid of them. It is easy to throw them in the dumpsters, but we all know that isn't the responsible thing to do. The City of Denver has made it easy for us though and is offering convenient leaf drop sites around the City. These leaves will be composted and will be available for residents to purchase next spring. For all the details, click here.


Compost your leaves at one of Denver Recycles' LeafDrop sites.WEEKDAY (Monday - Friday) drop sites open October 1st and will stay open through November 30th. WEEKEND (Saturday & Sunday) drop sites will open starting November 1stfor three weekends of November. By participating in the LeafDrop program you can make less trash, keep our streets clean and help to make compost for Denver Recycles' Annual Mulch Giveaway & Compost Sale in May.
