DENVERIGHT
Have you learned about Denveright? The last sessions will be Oct 9, Oct 17, and Oct 27.
After October 31, the draft plans will be revised based on input received. In early 2019, Comprehensive Plan 2040, Blueprint Denver and Game Plan for a Healthy City will go to Denver City Council for review and adoption.
Drop-in office hours where you can meet with city planners and ask questions about the Denveright suite of citywide plans, including: Comprehensive Plan 2040, Blueprint Denver, Game Plan for a Healthy City, Denver Moves: Transit, and Denver Moves: Pedestrians and Trails.
The leaves changing colors are a pretty sight, but when they fall, make sure they don’t end up in the trash! Give those leaves a second life through Denver’s LeafDrop program, which will turn those fallen leaves into compost. Starting Monday, October 1, three free weekday drop-off sites will be open to Denver residents through Friday, December 7. The leaves collected through this program will be turned into a high-quality compost, which will be made available for residents to purchase in May.
Weekday Drop-Off Sites
Monday through Friday, 8:00am to 2:00pm
Cherry Creek Transfer Station – 7301 E. Jewell Ave. (Quebec Street & Cherry Creek Dr. South)
Havana Nursery – 10450 Smith Rd. (Just south of I-70 on Havana St.)
South Platte – 678 S. Jason St. (Enter on W. Exposition Ave.)
Please note, all leaves dropped-off at Havana Nursery and South Platte must be in bags (paper bags are preferred) and dropped-off during hours of operation, otherwise it is considered illegal dumping.
Another way to be environmentally friendly, break the plastic bag habit and use paper bags when raking fallen leaves instead – paper bags can also be composted! Denver Recycles, Denver Parks & Recreation’s Be A Smart Ash program, and Ace Hardware are teaming up to give away 50,000 paper leaf bags this year! Beginning Monday, Denver residents can print or download a coupon for a free 5-pack of paper leaf bags at www.denvergov.org/leafdrop. The coupon can be redeemed at participating Denver area Ace Hardware stores.
Help us manage the LeafDrop program by following these guidelines:
Bring your leaves in paper leaf bags, if possible.
Drop-off sites and free Ace Hardware paper bag offer is for Denver residents only.
Jack-O-Lanterns and pumpkins will be accepted for composting at drop-off sites.
Make sure leaves do not contain branches or other materials.
Never rake or blow leaves into the street, as they can clog storm sewers and street sweepers.
Weekend LeafDrop sites will be coming soon in November! More details on dates and locations can be found at www.denvergov.org/leafdrop.
