The Treecycle program enables Denver residents to recycle their holidays trees for free in the new year by leaving them out for collection in early January. Trees must be placed at a home’s normal trash set-out location by 7 a.m. on one of two scheduled trash collection days during the two-week Treecycle collection period (Note: Denver residents that are not eligible for collection services provided by Denver Solid Waste Management are encouraged to utilize one of the two Treecycle drop-off options).

 

Over 20,000 trees were recycled after last year’s holiday season, and we’re hoping for even more participation this year. All trees collected during Treecycle are ground into mulch that is distributed to Denver residents for free during the Mulch Giveaway & Compost Sale event in the spring.

 

Treecycle is sponsored by Denver Recycles, a program of the City & County of Denver’s Public Works / Solid Waste Management division.
