“The Great Denver Cleanup” on Saturday, April 26 Be a part of “The Great Denver Cleanup” by bringing your unwanted materials to one of 10 free drop sites around the city on Saturday April 26 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. This year yard debris, large rigid plastics, and scrap metal will be accepted for recycling and composting at each location. Yard debris includes leaves and branches (less than 5 feet long and less than 4 inches in diameter). Large rigid plastics includes items such as laundry baskets, large toys or play centers, kid pools, lawn furniture, 5-gallon buckets and old plastic storage tubs. Electronic items (televisions, computers, etc.) and household hazardous waste (paint, chemicals, etc.) will not be accepted.

Please note that large rigid plastics are not accepted in your Denver Recycles purple cart. These items are too large for the normal collection and sorting process. So don’t miss out on this opportunity to recycle your large rigid plastics at this event!

“The Great Denver Cleanup” is a one-day event organized by Keep Denver Beautiful, a program of Denver Public Works/Solid Waste Management. For drop off locations and a complete list of acceptable items call 311 (720-913-1311) or visit DenverGov.org/KDB.
