GENERAL INTEREST LEAF REMOVAL OPTIONS 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 or yard debris in the street as our sweepers are not equipped to pick up large piles of leaves. Moreover, this debris can be wind blown or inappropriately washed into the storm systems and waterways of the Village. 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. • 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 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. • Ace Hardware Cherry Hills Marketplace at University Boulevard and Orchard Road has teamed up with the City of Greenwood Village to provide residents with FREE compostable paper yard waste bags. Use the provided coupon or visit www.acelittletoncherryhills.com to download your free coupon. Each resident will be eligible for a free pack, while supplies last during the month of October. For more information, please contact Ace Hardware Cherry Hills Marketplace at 5910 S. University, Suite A-17, Greenwood Village, 720-974-1080. • Recycle your leaves at Village Greens Park. Leaves can be dropped off loose or in bags between October 10 and December 2, 2020, 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-borne microorganisms to live. It does not impact the landfill and it is cost effective. No bags are required 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 WHY CAN’T I SWEEP MY LEAVES OR GRASS CLIPPINGS INTO THE STREET? 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 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. PG. 18 GV NEWSLETTER | OCTOBER 2020
