Help Keep Denver Beautiful by Recycling at the Great Denver Cleanup on June 9th

6/4/2018

 
If a cleanup around your home or neighborhood is on your spring to-do list, then you won’t want to miss out on the opportunity to participate in this year’s Great Denver Cleanup.  This one-day event is a great opportunity to recycle, compost and dispose of unwanted materials from your home and yard, and from around your neighborhood. Just bring your unwanted items to one of four FREE drop-off sites located around Denver on Saturday, June 9th from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
​
The following items are accepted at this one-day event, but must be sorted by type and kept separate from trash to ensure that they can be properly recycled or composted:
  • Yard Debris – Includes clean material such as brush, branches, stumps and leaves.
  • Large Rigid Plastics- Includes items such as laundry baskets, large toys, play centers, kid pools, lawn furniture, 5-gallon buckets and old plastic storage tubs. (Note: Large rigid plastics are not accepted in your Denver Recycles purple cart, as they are too large for the normal collection and sorting process. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to recycle your large rigid plastics, for free, at this event).
  • Appliances – Includes items such as water heaters, dishwashers, microwaves, refrigerators.
  • Furniture and Mattresses – These items are accepted in any condition.
