Slash Collection Day

Slash Collection Day

"Slash" is debris from nature, such as tree limbs, prunings, and pine needles. If not removed, slash can increase potential fire hazards on your property. Removing slash and creating defensible space around your home is the first line of defense against wildfires. To help you mitigate wildfire danger on your property, the City of Castle Pines is hosting a free slash collection event. Bring any tree limbs, prunings, pine needles, or other yard debris to Elk Ridge Park's parking lot for free disposal on Saturday, May 10, from 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. as a part of the City's slash collection event.

If not removed, slash can add to potential fire hazards on your property. Mitigating and preparing your property for wildfire is important. All vegetation is allowed, but please limit the diameter of trunks or limbs to less than 16 inches. No lumber is allowed, and please ensure there is no metal (nails, screws, etc.) or rocks in the materials you drop off.

Happy Canyon Interchange Open House

Safety improvements are coming to the Happy Canyon Road and Interstate 25 (I-25) interchange in Castle Pines. The proposed improvements, consistent with the City of Castle Pines Comprehensive Plan and Transportation Master Plan guidance, will also improve traffic operations, connectivity, and regional mobility, as well as support local community growth.

This project is identified in the County’s 2040 Transportation Master Plan, and it’s one of the County’s priority projects as identified in the County’s current 5-Year Capital Improvement Program.

Join the project team for a public open house on Monday, March 31, from 4:30-6:00 p.m. at the Castle Pines Library Event Hall (360 Village Square Drive) to learn about the proposed design. During the open house, you’ll have a chance to:

  • Review information about the project and learn about the preferred design
  • Ask the project team questions
  • Learn about the project's next steps

Spring Cleanup Day

APRIL 3 UPDATE: UNFORTUNATELY, THIS YEAR'S CLEANUP DAY IS CANCELED DUE TO FORECASTED WEATHER.

The City of Castle Pines is once again partnering with residents for the City’s annual Spring Cleanup Day.

As the community grows, it’s more important than ever to keep the beautiful parks and open spaces that make Castle Pines special free of trash and other debris. This year’s cleanup day will take place on Saturday, April 5, from 10:30 a.m. to noon, weather permitting.

Volunteers will be able to choose from one of five sites throughout the city (Elk Ridge Park, Coyote Ridge Park, Retreat Park, Daniels Gate Park, or The Green (The Canyons)). Gloves and trash bags will be available at each location.

After picking up your materials, you are free to pick up trash, weeds, and other debris at any park location or any other public area that you know may need a little beautification. When done, you can drop off your materials in a dumpster in the shopping center parking lot at Castle Pines Parkway and Lagae Road. The dumpster will be located near Ziggi's coffee shop. See the map below for the drop-off location.
