Golden Pride in every flower!
Following days of rain, it's hard not to feel a sense of pride in how beautiful, colorful and green Golden is looking right now! But this week is also about helping our residents clean up after a long winter, disposing of old organic debris, and other items that are gathering dust and rust around the house.
This week, Alpine Waste is offering the
annual spring yard waste collection for customers who subscribe to the City of Golden's trash service, so if you're an eligible customer, make sure your materials are placed at the curb on your regular trash collection day.
This weekend marks an event many people wait for all year long - Golden Community Pride Days! This is your big opportunity to get rid of hard-to-dispose-of items free of charge. Y
ou m
ust be a Golden resident to participate in Community Pride Days and have a current driver's license showing an address within the city limits. Also, keep in mind a few rules apply, so make sure you read through the guidelines on our Community Pride Days page before gathering items to drop off.
Keep reading for a rundown on what's happening in Golden right now, and have a great week!
