A new location is open to residents who wish to donate tree debris. Root balls like this should be taken to the new location along Grigs Road.
A new site is available Monday morning for residents of the Highlands Ranch, which has been forced to shed tree debris after last week’s unprecedented storm.
Starting at 8am Monday, June 26, you can take tree trimmings — including root balls and branches — to a yard near Grigs Road and McArthur Ranch Road. Look for variable message signs directing you to the site.
dropping of tree remains
There are now three locations available for tree remains. Anything larger than a typical trash can load should go to these pages:
- Highland Heritage Regional Park, 9651 S. Quebec. view card.
- Halftime Help Stadium at Redstone Park, 3280 Redstone Park Circle. view card.
- Grigs Road location at Grigs Road and McArthur Ranch Road. view card.
We recognize that there is an ongoing need, so these websites will remain open until further notice. If possible, loads with root balls should go to the new Grigs location.
If you are unable to transport your debris, Douglas County will coordinate residential pickups in some of the hardest-hit areas beginning later this week. In the meantime, please do your best to keep your fire hazard/debris off the roadway. If you can bring some of your own rubbish to the drop-off points, that helps enormously.
Crisis home cleaning hotline: Anyone who needs help with garbage disposal can call the Crisis Home Cleanup Hotline. 720-206-0627.
Volunteers wanted
Want to help your neighbors recover from the unprecedented storm at Highlands Ranch? We need your help at our temporary demolition site at Highland Heritage Regional Park.
There will be two volunteer shifts daily through Friday, June 30 – 7:00am to 12:00pm and 12:00pm to 5:00pm. Just arrive at the start of the desired shift with a willing heart, a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, work gloves and sturdy shoes. You will be asked to sign a waiver on site.
They help Douglas County employees direct traffic, offload clippings, and sort debris.
