Castle Pines residents are invited to recycle leaves and pumpkins for composting on Saturday, November 2.
Have fun with your leaves, jump on them in piles, or re-use them in bags for Halloween props to help us crush them! Next, bring the leaves in large paper bags that you will keep after emptying your leaves. No bags will be accepted at the event. All leaves will be dumped out of bags.
Leaves are collected and used by local farms as a soil amendment and need to be as clean as possible. No garden waste, large brush, branches, or tree stumps are accepted as part of the leaf collection event (no commercial landscaping).
The event is free to Castle Pines residents!
Saturday, Nov. 2
