DENVER LEAFDROP 2017
The 2017 LeafDrop Collection Period Has Ended.
Dropping off your leaves at LeafDrop sites is now considered illegal dumping and consequences may apply.
Alternatives for Composting Leaves
1. BRING LEAVES TO THE CHERRY CREEK RECYCLING DROP-OFF
Leaves can be dropped off for composting at the Cherry Creek Recycling Drop-off. Leaves will need to be unbagged/emptied into green carts (NO PLASTIC BAGS. Brown paper bags okay.).
2. ENROLL IN THE DENVER COMPOSTS PROGRAM
For a quarterly fee of $29.25, the City and County of Denver will provide you with a green cart for organic materials (leaves, small branches, food scraps and non-recyclable paper) that is collected weekly. The organic material goes to a commercial facility where it gets turned into a high quality soil amendment known as compost.
