DUE TO WEATHER, THIS EVENT IS POSTPONED FROM NOV. 9 TO NOV. 16. 

With the arrival of fall, it’s time to prune trees and shrubs, rake leaves and clean up your garden beds. While the Metro District has long offered seasonal tree limb recycling events, this is the first time we’re also offering a free yard waste composting drop-off.

The drop-off location will be in the center parking lot of Redstone Park, 3280 Redstone Park Circle, and is free to all Highlands Ranch residents. Separate lanes will be available to drop yard waste and tree limbs.

Yard waste:

Accepted items:

• grass clippings
• garden waste, weeds and brush
• pine cones and pine needles
• leaves

Loose material will not be accepted. Please use paper yard waste bags or reusable containers to transport your items. We discourage bagging yard waste in plastic bags due to the environmental impact and fact that they take longer to empty into our drop-off bins.

Tree limbs:

Accepted items:

• tree limbs less than 12 inches in diameter
• woody plant materials

We cannot accept finished lumber or root balls.

Free mulch will be available to residents on a self-serve basis.  No contractors. For questions, please email info@highlandsranch.org.
