individual basis with private solid waste companies. Most of the
trash haulers offer curbside recycling. Services, prices and
pick-up days vary depending on the hauler you choose. |

Tree Limb Recycling Program
Broomfield residents, do
you prune your own trees? The City of Broomfield operates a Tree Limb
Recycling Program at the Broomfield Recycling Center at 225 Commerce Street in
Broomfield (south of the intersection of Hwy 287 and Nickel Street across
the railroad tracks). The Tree Limb recycling program is offered for Broomfield residents
only to drop
shrubs and tree limbs for recycling. HOURS OF OPERATION: Due to
space constraints with the small drop-off site, the tree-limb drop-off
will be open on Saturdays 8AM to 5PM and Wednesdays 1PM to 5PM. The site
will be CLOSED at all other times Only tree branches and
shrub branches will be accepted. Please do not bring trash, sod, grass clippings or other
landscape debris including lumber and fence materials. Absolutely no
wire, nails or metal of any kind are allowed due to damage to the tub
grinder and risk to the operators. Branches more than 18
inches in diameter must be cut into 4 ft. lengths.
Broomfield Residents only-NO contractors or non-residents, proof of
residency will be required at the gate. The sight is
monitored 24-hours by surveillance camera and violators will be prosecuted
for illegal dumping under section 8.04.020 of the Broomfield Municipal
Code. Free mulch is available year round at the Broomfield
Recycling Center. Bring your shovel and take as much as you need-there is
no limit!
Annual Spring Cleanup Event
The City of Broomfield is negotiating a new program
this Spring for Broomfield residents to dispose of large items
that the trash haulers do not normally take at the curb. The new
program will provide curbside pick up of large items rather than the
drop-off program offered in years past. This
program is only offered once a year in the spring. The next Spring
Clean-up will be offered in May 2006. Watch for advertising in the Broomfield Enterprise beginning in April
2006. For more information check the
Calendar
of Events after April 1st for dates, times, MAP and list of materials accepted.

May 20th by appointment only. Please call for an appointment and
