Changing leaves are great to look at … but less great to rake and throw away. 

Rather than fill up your trash cart, bring those fallen leaves to the Yard Waste Mulching Center. (We’ll also accept tree branches, tree stumps and grass clippings. We don't take sod, dirt or gravel.)

Don’t wait too long, though! The center is open every Saturday through November from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. But starting in December, it will only be open on the first Saturday of the month through March. 

Located at the south end of the Maintenance & Operations Facility, 12301 Claude Court, just go through the gate as you enter the parking lot. 

Only people who live in Northglenn single-family residences can drop off debris, so you need to have proof of residency, such as a driver’s license or utility bill with a photo ID. 

Much of the yard waste is then turned into mulch – which is available to anyone, including commercial businesses. However, you must bring your own shovels, as the city does not provide tools to use.
