Denver Solid Waste Management collects extra trash bags and large items every 8 weeks from your neighborhood. Please use the directions below and the calendar to ensure proper use of the program and to help keep your neighborhood clean.
Only bundled branches will be collected. Visit our FREE Cherry Creek Recycling Drop-off where you can compost these branches.
Skip the bag and leave the grass clippings on your lawn. Learn more about GrassCycling.
