Swimming in leaves?
We love the leaves when they're still on the trees, but once they fall, it's a whole different matter! That's why Golden offers semi-annual yard waste collection days, once in the fall and once in the spring, to help residents get a handle on all the leaf and organic debris the change in seasons brings. And as a bonus to getting the leaves and stray branches out of your hair (literally in some cases) the organic waste will be put to good use and composted. This week is the fall yard waste collection, so remember to get your compostable bags to the curb. Learn more on our Yard Waste Collection Days page.
Keep reading for a look at all else happening in Golden, and have a great week!

Linking Lookout (US 6 & 19th St. Interchange)
Engineers will be collecting data on highway performance over the next 2 weeks and will complete an after-project report.
The project website remains up and active until we complete a couple of follow-up activities, including a traffic study to verify that the intersection is working as expected, and a noise study to verify the noise modeling that we did prior to construction.
Results of those efforts will be posted to the website when they are complete in the next month or so. The webcam is no longer active.

Mending Colorado's Mental Health Presentation
Each year, more than one million Coloradans experience a mental health or substance use disorder, yet only half get the care they need. The result: Increased hospitalization, homelessness, incarceration, and one of the highest suicide rates in the nation.

Join Andrew Romanoff, former Speaker of the Colorado House and the current President and CEO of Mental Health Colorado, as he leads a discussion on the benefits of early intervention-and the costs of inaction.
