Where to take branches, debris from May snowstorm

Denver and the surrounding cities have drop-off locations for disposal of all those branches and limbs that came down in the spring storm.

DENVER — The spring storm Friday and Saturday dropped several inches of heavy, wet snow across the Denver metro area and left behind plenty of downed trees and snapped branches in its wake.

For those who are cleaning up their property, and are wondering where to drop off branches and debris, here's a list of some locations. This list will be updated as counties and municipalities announce drop-off sites for snowstorm debris.

The Associated Landscape Contractors of Colorado has a list of companies across the state that accept yard waste and landscape debris.
