Denver offers free leaf composting at 2013 LeafDrop This fall, Denver Public Works Denver Recycles has partnered with local Ace Hardware stores to encourage residents to compost fallen leaves. Beginning in October, Denver residents are invited to rake up and recycle their leaves through the free Denver LeafDrop program. Composting leaves not only saves space in the landfill but also creates a valuable commodity while helping the environment. By participating in the LeafDrop program you can reduce trash, keep our streets clean, and help to make compost for Denver Recycles’ Annual Mulch Giveaway & Compost Sale in May. Beginning Oct. 7, Denver residents can bring their leaves to one of two convenient weekday drop sites. Weekend drop sites will be open for three consecutive weekends starting Nov. 9.

Choose paper bags instead

As an extra incentive for residents to compost leaves this year

and to encourage the use of paper bags, Denver Public Works and Ace Hardware stores are partnering to give away 10,000 free leaf and yard paper bags. Unlike plastic bags, paper bags can be composted along with the leaves, saving time and energy. Starting Oct. 14, Denver residents can pick up a free 5-pack of leaf and yard paper bags at participating Denver area Ace Hardware stores with a coupon. Visit DenverGov.org/LeafDrop for a list of participating Ace Hardware Stores and to print your free paper bag coupon. Additional bags can be purchased for about $2.50 per five-pack at any Ace Hardware store. No purchase necessary, while supplies last, limit one pack per household.
