3. 2009 LeafDrop: Rake, Reuse & Recycle - 11/1, 8, 15
**************************

It's time once again to rake up and recycle the leaves in your yard and help make sure that they are turned into compost!

On the first three Sundays in November (Nov. 1, 8 & 15), residents may drop off an unlimited amount of leaves at five LeafDrop locations. Two weekday drop-off locations will also be available from October 5th through December 4th. LeafDrop is brought to you by Denver Recycles, a program of Solid Waste Management/Denver Pubic Works.

Removing yard debris, such as leaves, from our waste stream is important in reducing our impact on global warming and the environment. Consider recycling your leaves by digging them into your garden, composting them
at home or using a lawn mower to mulch small amounts into your grass. Using your fallen leaves in this manner can help you create a healthy lawn or garden!

Remember to never sweep your leaves into the street. This clogs up storm sewers and street sweeper vehicles.

Sunday drop-off locations:

These Sundays only: November 1, 8 & 15 (10 AM to 4 PM)

- Southeast - South High School (Louisiana Ave. & Franklin St.)
- Northwest - Sloan's Lake Park (17th Ave. at Sheridan Blvd.)
- Southwest - John F. Kennedy High School (Newland St. & Brown Pl.)
- East Central - Cranmer Park (3rd Ave. & Clermont St.)
- Northeast - Smiley Middle School (26th Ave. & Holly St.)

Brown Bag Them & Go!
Save your plastic trash bags and our time by bringing your leaves in paper yard debris bags. Unlike plastic bags, brown paper bags can be composted with your leaves. Many hardware, home improvement and
department stores sell paper yard debris bags. Or even better, bring your leaves in reusable containers or tarps that we can empty and give back to you.

Weekday drop-off (closed weekends & HOLIDAYS):

Monday through Friday only, October 5 - December 4 (7 AM to 2:30 PM) - CLOSED THANKSGIVING DAY

- Havana Nursery, 10450 Smith Rd. (just south of I-70 on Havana St.)
- Denver Solid Waste Transfer Station, 7301 E. Jewell Ave. (Quebec St. & S. Cherry Creek Dr.)

Weekday LeafDrops must be in tied or secured bags. Paper bags are preferred.

Notes:
> Denver residents only.
> Make sure your leaves do not contain branches or other waste.
> DO NOT drop leaves at these sites except during the times and dates specified.

Don't forget to treat your Halloween jack-o-lanterns to a second chance and compost them with Denver LeafDrop.

Close the Loop by reclaiming your leaves next spring in the form of rich compost at the 2010 Treecycle Mulch Giveaway & LeafDrop Compost Sale.
After April 1, 2010, you may call 720-865-6810 or visit DenverGov.org/DenverRecycles for details.
