Tree Branch Recycling Facility

The Tree Branch Recycling Facility is where residents can drop off tree and shrub branches for free. Park Services will have these branches chipped to make mulch that is used in Broomfield parks and available for use by residents. The Tree Branch Recycling Facility is now offering yard waste disposal, including grass clippings, weeds, leaves, pumpkins and perennial flower clippings. Hours of operation for the Tree Branch Recycling Facility are Wednesdays from 1 to 5 p.m. and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Program Details

This program is available to Broomfield residents only—NO contractors or non-residents; proof of residency will be required at the gate. The site is monitored 24 hours by a surveillance camera, and violators will be prosecuted for illegal dumping under section 8.04.020 of the Broomfield Municipal Code.

Expanded Yard Waste Now Accepted Year-Round

  • No paper or plastic bags will be accepted - if you bring your debris in a bag, you will be required to take it out of the bag in order to deposit the debris in the bin.
