Update: Denver residents dealing with broken tree branches can take them to any of the sites. They will also be taking broken tree branches! Denver embraces spring cleaning in a big way with the Great Denver Cleanup. On Saturday, May 20, Denver residents who are cleaning out their closets, making room in the garage or tidying up their yards — or neighborhoods — can take those items to 13 FREE drop-off locations between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. This event is for Denver residents only and proof of residency may be required at drop sites.
Organizers say besides general trash they will accept large and bulky household items (indoor and outdoor furniture, mattresses, bikes, BBQ grills – without ashes, lawnmowers — without oil or gas, swing sets, etc.), rigid plastics, yard waste for composting (branches), and re-usable household items in good condition (such as furniture, housewares, toys and other items you would take to Goodwill. Accepted at the Coliseum site only). On the no-no list: Electronics, appliances, automobile parts, hazardous waste, like paint or batteries and construction materials.
