City offers free mulch year-round; encourages Christmas tree recycling

Free wood mulch available to Littleton residents

The City of Littleton offers free wood mulch to city residents. The mulch pile is located on the northwest corner of South Prescott Street and West Prentice Avenue. The mulch is a product of city tree trimming operations. The site is open to the public during daylight hours year round. The mulch supply is replenished regularly; the amount of mulch varies from week to week. Residents are responsible for loading their own mulch, so bring bags, trash cans and a shovel or pitchfork. Anyone dumping leaves, branches or other refuse at the site will be subject to prosecution. For information call 303-795-3766.

CHRISTMAS TREES RECYCLED INTO FREE MULCH

The City of Littleton and South Suburban Parks and Recreation will collect and mulch Christmas trees from December 26, 2009 through January 10, 2010. The collection site is Cornerstone Park at the southeast corner of West Belleview Avenue and South Windermere Street. Access is off of Windermere Street just south of Belleview, with the drop area in the parking lot adjacent to the soccer fields. South Suburban is also collecting trees at its Willow Springs Service Center at 7100 S. Holly Street. Both sites are open every day during daylight hours.

All lights, ornaments, nails, and plastic bags must be removed prior to dropping off trees. This is for Christmas trees only, no flocked trees will be accepted. Anyone depositing leaves, branches or other refuse may be subject to prosecution. The trees will be ground into mulch, which will be available free to the public at the site for as long as the supply lasts. For information call 303-795-3863.
