Don’t Throw Out Your Christmas Tree This Year, Treecycle It!
Today through January 30th, DOTI is offering their “treecycle” program to residents. You can drop holiday trees off at designated drop sites to have them turned into mulch. Remove all decorations, lights and the tree stand before dropping the tree off at a collection site.
WEEKDAY Treecycle drop sites are open December 29 through January 30, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., at these locations:
Cherry Creek Transfer Station – 7301 E. Jewell Ave. (enter on E. Jewell Ave.)
Havana Nursery – 3685 Havana St.
Central Platte Campus – 1271 W. Bayaud Ave. (next to Denver Animal Shelter)
(Note: These locations will be closed January 19 for MLK Jr. Day)
Nine SATURDAY drop sites will be open January 10 and 17 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.:
Sloan’s Lake Park (Northwest Parking Lot) - W. Byron Pl. and Yates St.
Bruce Randolph School - 3955 Steele St.
Fred Thomas Park - 2400 Quebec St.
