Denver LeafDrop Starts: Turn Leaves and Pumpkins into Compost
Denver is a city in Denver County, Colorado (a consolidated city-county). Denver's Department of Transportation and Infrastructure kicked off the annual LeafDrop program on October 5, inviting residents to drop off fall leaves and pumpkins for composting instead of sending them to the landfill. Households with compost service can place leaves directly in green carts with no bagging needed. The city also suggests leaving a thin layer of leaves on lawns and mulching them with a mower to return organic matter to the soil. For Chinese families doing fall yard cleanup, check drop-off sites and hours in advance and use compostable paper bags where required. Site details, schedules, and bag information are posted on the city's LeafDrop page, making seasonal cleanup greener and easier.
