 Important Announcements for District 10: Minimize
Recycle by Turning Your Christmas Tree into Mulch

 

Denver Recycles' annual Treecycle program will be recycling thousands of Christmas trees into mulch again this holiday season.  Treecycle helps Denver avoid using landfill space and paying disposal fees for a valuable, recyclable resource -- Christmas trees.  Last year, the Treecycle program diverted nearly 180 tons of organic matter from the city’s landfill after the winter holidays. 

 

For residents that use city services for garbage and recycling collection, collection is Jan. 5- 16, 2009.  Non-dumpster customers should place their tree near their regular pick-up location by 7 am on their scheduled day, at least four feet away from any containers, bags, dumpsters or other obstacles.  Dumpster customers should set their tree outside the dumpster and at least four feet away.  All decorations must be removed, including tinsel, ornaments, nails, stands and bags.  Artificial and flocked trees cannot be recycled.  If the tree has not been picked up by 3 pm on trash pick-up day during the week of Jan. 12 (or by 3 pm on Jan. 20 for dumpster customers) call 3-1-1. 


Denver Recycles grinds the Christmas trees into valuable mulch, which is made available free to Denver residents in the spring.  In 2006, Treecycle recycled more than 22,000 trees, which were reclaimed by Denver residents at last spring’s Treecycle Mulch Giveaway and Leafdrop Compost Sale.  Residents may call 720-865-6810 after March 1st for more information about the 2009 Treecycle Mulch Giveaway and Leafdrop Compost Sale.

For more information about Treecycle and other Denver Recycles programs visit Denver Recycles or call 720-865-6810.

East Colfax 2007 Bond Fund Public Meeting

 

The New Year starts with new efforts on long-standing issues.  From Colfax to Cherry Creek, the City of Denver continues to strive to improve transportation options from pedestrian amenities to parking technology improvements. 

 

I am pleased to invite you to the East Colfax Avenue 2007 Bond Fund meeting to be held on Wednesday, February 4 from 5:30 – 7:30 pm at Church in the City, Angel’s Den, 1530 Josephine.

This meeting will discuss the 2007 bond fund as it relates to East Colfax Avenue between Grant Street and St. Paul Street. In 2007, Denver voters approved funding expenditures to be undertaken with the proceeds from the general obligation bonds. Funding of $4 million was allocated to East Colfax Avenue between Grant Street and St. Paul Street to install streetscape improvements to enhance pedestrian access and bus ridership.  

Please join us to discuss urban design options and how the project can provide pedestrian enhancements that would most capitalize on public investment.

 

If you have any question, please contact Jennifer Hillhouse, City and County of Denver Senior Planner, at 720.865.3158 or by e-mail at jennifer.hillhouse@denvergov.org. or Brendan Kelly, City and County of Denver Engineer, at 720.913.4503 or by e-mail at Brendan.kelly@denvergov.org.  As always, please feel free to contact my office with questions.

Time to Register Your Neighborhood Organization Again

 

The Community Planning and Development Department has sent an email to the contact person for each registered neighborhood organization (RNO) alerting them that the annual notice of the requirement to re-register is no later than January 31, 2009.  In that email, each RNO was provided a unique link for their specific online re-registration.  

 

If an RNO fails to re-register, it will not receive notices of rezoning applications, liquor and cabaret license applications and a host of other important notices from many city departments.

 

RNOs may designate a secondary optional contact person to receive city notices, which recognizes the fact that sometimes contact persons are out of town, or their computers malfunction and they may fail to receive important notices.  Very few groups have yet designated secondary contacts.  RNOs should seriously consider taking advantage of this new option.

 

If you have questions about re-registration, or if you know of a new group that is interested in registering, please contact Julius Zsako at 720-865-2969 or Julius.Zsako@DenverGov.Org.
