Tired of piling your bags of leaves and other yard waste on the curb? You can now keep leaves out of the landfill by taking them to Douglas County’s Fall Leaf Collection site, open Saturdays through Nov. 15, 2025, if you choose to remove them from your yard.
Leaves, slash, and green yard waste like grass clippings will be accepted at the County’s slash-mulch site from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays through Oct. 25. Then, only leaves will be accepted from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Nov. 1, Nov. 8, and Nov. 15. In case of inclement weather, please call 303-548-7810 to ensure that the site will be open as scheduled.
The site is located at 1400 Caprice Drive in Castle Rock.
Here are a few tips for a smooth drop-off:
- Separate leaves, slash, and green yard waste.
- Leaves can be transported in bags, but only paper bags can be left at the site.
- Garden waste, large brush, trash, twine, plastics, etc., should be removed from piles before drop-off.
- Yard waste and leaves are professionally composted. Slash is turned into free mulch for resident pickup.
