Greenwood Village revises trash ordinance The Greenwood Village City Council went right to work on Oct. 16 discussing a new trash ordinance for the city. It appears that folks can now put their trash out a day ahead of pickup, and put the receptacles away the next day. The bins must be stored out of sight from the street, along with any other yard-related items. Councilmember Dave Bullock protested the new wording that included “brush” as one of the untidy yard items, stating that in his rural area brush was abundant and part of many yards. The word was eliminated in the draft. The proposed new ordinance will
be published for citizen comments, including any conflicts with homeowners associations. If passed, enforcement would begin in January 2018. The council then went into a nonpublic executive session that may have dealt with the new Westin Hotel, which has apparently been delayed due to the high cost of construction in the Denver area. After returning to the chamber, routine ordinances were passed on second readings, along with the approval of Police Chief John Jackson’s employment contract to become the new city manager on Nov. 1.
