Show Your Community Pride

Now is your chance to clean out your garage, basement, back or front yard.  It’s time to gear up for Golden Community Pride Days.  This popular event is provided by the City of Golden each year for citizens as an opportunity to get rid of unwanted items and debris.  Many of these items would normally have to be hauled off to a landfill at residents’ expense.

Simply drop off these items from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, May 1 and 2 at the City Shops facility, 1300 Catamount Drive.  Golden residents may dispose of the following items:

Rubbish

Construction Materials

Scrap Metal

Tires (maximum of four per household)

Electronics:

                Personal Computers

                Televisions

                Monitors

                Printers

                Fax Machines

                Scanners

                Copiers

                Cell Phones

                PDAs

                Stereo Equipment

                Typewriters

                Keyboards

                VCRs

                Circuit Boards

                Hard Drives

Untreated lumber, tree limbs and brush can be brought in for grinding and on-site paper shredding is also available to help prevent identity theft.

DO NOT BRING appliances or hazardous materials.  For these items, please use the valuable coupons found in the Informer on Page 7.  Details and reservation phone numbers are listed on the coupons.

All services are for Golden residents only.  Proof of Golden residency (a current driver’s license or your most recent Golden water bill) is required in order to participate in this event.  Remember that many Golden mailing addresses are not within Golden city limits.
