January 31 Deadline | Treecycle - Treecycle is a seasonal program offered by Denver Recycles that turns discarded Christmas trees into mulch after the holiday season. Give life to your old tree by dropping it off on weekdays at the Cherry Creek Transfer Station – 7301 E. Jewell Ave. (enter on E. Jewell Ave.) or weekends at Slavens Elementary – 3000 S Clayton St. Denver is encouraging residents to drop them off at these locations as trees left out for large item pickup will not be composted. Free Treecycle mulch is made available to Denver residents at the Mulch Giveaway and Compost Sale in May. Only natural, real trees will be accepted.

Formed by residents and property owners within a geographic area or neighborhood, RNOs receive notification of proposed zoning amendments, landmark designation applications, planning board and board of adjustment hearings, liquor and cabaret licenses and other activities occurring in the neighborhood. RNOs may submit official comments to the city regarding these notifications.
If you are an existing RNO or wish to form a new one, the annual registration and renewal period begins December 1 through January 31. Existing RNOs will be asked to update their contact, leadership and election information, and affirm that your group continues to meet the city’s eligibility requirements. There is no cost associated with registering as an RNO. Go to www.denvergov.org/RNO to register or for more information.
Any RNO that does not renew will be removed from the city’s RNO list and will no longer receive updates on city projects happening in their area.
