The season for fallen leaves is upon us, and those in the south metro area have the opportunity to recycle their autumnal detritus responsibly. The City of Englewood is running its leaf recycling program until November 14, offering residents of Englewood, Littleton, Columbine Valley, and Sheridan a place to bring their gathered leaves. According to the City of Englewood, drop-offs can be made at A1 Organics located at 2300 W Radcliff Ave, Sheridan, CO, where the site is open from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday to Friday, and between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Saturday, November 1.
To avoid the weekend bustle, the site encourages visits during the weekday or even on a lunch break. A notable detail for participants is the flat $5 drop-off fee, which, regardless of the quantity of leaves, will cover a single vehicle per visit. Englewood's website specifies that both large trucks and trailers are included in this fee, but residents must bring proof of residency, like a Driver's License or Utility Bill, to participate in the recycling program.
If anyone's considering this eco-friendly endeavor, there are some essentials to keep in mind. Specifically, the organizers will only accept credit card or cash payments, so those accustomed to writing personal checks will need to find an alternative. Furthermore, the final loads will be accepted 30 minutes before the site closes. This is to ensure that everyone in line can be processed efficiently through the site.
