Recycle your tree
Once the last ornament has been put away and the final string of lights returned to the box to tangle themselves for another year, don't just kick your tree to the curb - turn it into mulch!
Drop off your trees through Jan. 26 at the former Golden Recycle site, just west of Hwy 93 and north of Golden Gate Canyon Road.
Please leave trees at the south end of the site; there will be a sign there for tree recycling.
Trees must be stripped of all ornaments, hardware, strings of lights and tinsel. The trees will be turned into mulch, which will eventually be available for free at the public pickup site on 11th Street, just west of the Clear Creek History Park.
For further details, contact the City of Golden Forestry office at 303-384-8141.

An SUV ran into a City of Golden snowplow during the storm over the weekend.
Just a reminder and a warning to drivers who venture out when the weather is sketchy! Be aware of your speed when the roads are icy and snowy. Also remember that even if your vehicle is in 4-wheel or all-wheel drive, that's no guarantee it will stop at an icy intersection when you apply the brakes.
