Material can be loose, bagged, or bundled with twine.   
Register and arrive anytime from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Please do not arrive earlier than event start time. 


Registering in advance helps us plan for traffic, waste volume, and staffing needs ensuring every Lakewood neighbor has a smooth drop-off experience. You will receive an email reminder two days before the event.  

Accepted Materials
Plant Matter: weeds, flowers, plants, vines, grass clippings, etc. 
Woody Debris: twigs, sticks, brush, bark, pine needles, pine cones, mulch 
Limbs/Branches: up to 4' long and 3" in diameter 
Pumpkins: no wax, paint, or other decoration 


Not accepted

Entire Bags of Leaves (Incidental leaves are okay): Leaving the leaves on your lawn and garden cycles nutrients back into the soil and provides critical protection for insect life over winter. If you have an excess of leaves, you can take them to the City of Lakewood Leaf Drop from Nov. 15 - Nov. 24, 2025.  

Stumps: Any wood larger than 4' long and 3" in diameter will not be accepted. Large woody debris can be taken to the JeffCo's Tin Cup Ridge SLASH Site through Oct 26.  

Trash & Plastic   

Dirt & Rocks  

Food Scraps  

FAQs
Is there a fee to drop-off? No, this event series is sponsored by the City of Lakewood; however, participating nonprofit groups may collect cash donations for their volunteer efforts on-site. 

Why do I need to register? Registering in advance helps staff plan for traffic, waste volume, volunteer needs, and responsibly steward city funding. It ensures we have the appropriate number of waste containers on-site and do not have to turn visitors away.  

Should I arrive early? No, when everyone has the same idea to arrive early it creates dangerous traffic backlogs and sets organizers up for a stressful event. Arrive anytime from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.  

Do I need to go to the drop-off event hosted in my ward? No, any Lakewood resident may come to any yard waste drop-off event even if it is not hosted in their ward. 

Where are these materials going? The City is partnering with a local hauler, SCRAPS, who will haul the organics to their nearby processing facility in Arvada where it will be turned into a nutrient rich soil amendment called compost. Anyone may purchase compost back from SCRAPS during their annual compost sale. 

Who can I contact if I have further questions? If your question is not already answered in these materials, use the contact link on the registration page.
