GOVERNMENT TAKE note LEAF REMOVAL As we enter into the fall season, keeping Greenwood Village clean will continue to be a priority. To assist with these activities, we ask that you do not place loose leaves, yard debris or trash in the street as our sweepers are not equipped to pick up large piles of leaves or debris. Moreover, this debris can be wind blown or inappropriately washed into the storm systems and waterways of the Village, which impacts water quality. Instead, please look to other options to dispose of this debris. • Arrange for your lawn care provider to remove the leaves when performing your yard service. Request that they refrain from blowing leaves into the street. • Bag your leaves in compostable paper yard waste bags and place them out with your weekly trash pick up. These bags of leaves will end up in the landfill and paper is preferred over plastic which will WHY CAN’T I SWEEP MY LEAVES OR GRASS CLIPPINGS INTO THE STREET? never break down and is bad for the environment no matter what its destination. Republic Services has no limit as to how many bags of leaves they will pick up, however, keep in mind if some bags are left at the curb they will be returning once they have unloaded their truck. Do not rake or blow leaves, grass or other trash into the street. The street sweeping equipment is not able to handle branches or large quantities of leaves and grass and can spread these materials around the street. Leaves and grass are “natural” but when it rains, these materials on streets and sidewalks can wash into storm drains and eventually lead to Village waterways such as streams and ponds. These materials provide nutrients which over fertilize the water and encourage harmful aquatic plants and algae to thrive, which has a lasting negative impact on water quality, local ecology and recreational use of our waterways and is a form of stormwater pollution. Just like we would ask you to not throw trash in the street, it is the same for leaves. Ace Hardware Cherry Hills Marketplace at 5910 S. University Boulevard and Orchard Road has teamed up with the City of Greenwood Village to provide residents with FREE compostable paper yard waste bags. The above coupon provides a free 5-pack, while supplies last. For more information, please contact Ace Hardware Cherry Hills Marketplace at 720-974-1080. • Recycle your leaves at Village Greens Park. Leaves can be dropped off loose or in bags between October 2 and November 3, 2017, in the dedicated area of the north parking lot any day of the week. This option is environmentally friendly with staff spreading and disking into the soil where native grass cannot be established adding nutrients, helping with moisture and also providing a place for soil bore microorganisms to live. It does not impact the landfill and it is cost effective. No bags are needed and you do not have to wait until your trash day to dispose of them. For more information, please contact Public Works at 303-708-6100. GV SEPTEMBER 2017 | GV NEWSLETTER PG. 7
