Leaves set-out for extra trash collection (ETC) are taken to the landfill, and therefore do not get composted. Help reduce the amount of leaves going to the landfill by bringing them to LeafDrop sites! That way, your leaves will be turned into Denver’s Own EcoGro Compost
We Prefer Leaves in Compost Friendly Paper Bags!
Denver Recycles, Be A Smart Ash, and Ace Hardware stores are teaming up to give away FREE 5-packs of 30-gallon paper leaf bags to help Denver residents keep leaves out of the landfill! Unlike plastic bags, brown paper bags can be composted along with the leaves; saving time and reducing plastic waste. Find a Participating Ace Hardware Store Near You
