Free leaf recycling for Lakewood residents begins Nov. 15

Lakewood's free leaf recycling event is part of an initiative to support residents' fall cleanup and spread awareness about the proper disposal of leaves. This year's leaf drop-off event has been extended to two weeks and will take place from Nov. 15 to Nov. 30, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily at the city Greenhouse, 9556 W. Yale Ave. Staff will be available to assist residents on Saturday, Nov. 15 and 22 only.
The leaves will be recycled into compost, mulch and other recycled landscape materials. This event is for leaves only; branches, woody brush or tree stumps will not be accepted. All leaves must be emptied on the pile, and no bags, even if they are compostable bags, can be accepted. Proof of residency is required.
The city also wants residents to know that it is a violation of Lakewood Municipal Code to sweep or blow leaves or any other debris into the street. Piles of leaves clog the storm drain system and damage street sweepers. Thank you for helping us keep Lakewood streets clean!
For more information, call 720-963-5240 or visit Lakewood.org/LeafRecycling.
