  "textContent": "Glenwood Springs residents will have multiple opportunities this spring to clean up their homes, yards, and neighborhoods as the City rolls out a comprehensive lineup of seasonal cleanup events throughout April and May.\n\nThe city’s annual Spring Cleanup program includes landfill vouchers, curbside collection, yard waste drop-offs, a tree giveaway, river cleanup efforts, and a hazardous waste disposal event—many of which are offered at no cost to residents. Full details and registration links are available through the city’s spring cleanup hub.\n\n## Month-Long Access to Landfill Vouchers\n\nFrom April 1 through April 30, Glenwood Springs residents can request subsidized landfill vouchers valid through July 31. Each household is eligible for one voucher, which covers up to one pickup truck load of non-hazardous waste.\n\nAccepted materials include bulky furniture, mattresses, scrap metal, yard waste, and wood. Hazardous materials are not included, and proof of residency is required at the landfill.\n\n## Recurring Yard Waste Drop-Off Begins April 4\n\nStarting April 4, residents can bring yard waste to the former rodeo grounds every other Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon, continuing through September 19.\n\nAccepted materials include grass clippings, leaves, weeds, and branches (up to 2 inches in diameter). The service is free, though limited to city residents and not available for commercial use.\n\n## Curbside Collection Days Require Advance Registration\n\nTwo curbside collection days are scheduled for April 8 and April 9, with registration required by April 5.\n\n  * April 8: Green waste pickup (branches, lawn clippings, leaves)\n  * April 9: Large trash pickup (furniture, mattresses, metal, wood)\n\n\n\nItems must be placed at the curb by 7 a.m. on the selected day. The program is designed to support residents who may not have the ability to transport items themselves.\n\n## Free Tree Giveaway and Community Events\n\nThe city is also hosting several community-focused events:\n\n  * April 18: Branch Out Tree Giveaway at Two Rivers Park (registration required)\n  * April 25: Springtime River Cleanup along the Roaring Fork and Colorado Rivers\n\n\n\nBoth events encourage environmental stewardship while offering residents a chance to get involved locally.\n\n## Hazardous Waste Drop-Off and Compost Giveaway in May\n\nOn May 23, residents can safely dispose of hazardous materials at the Community Center from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Accepted items include paints, chemicals, pesticides, and automotive fluids.\n\nThe service is free for Glenwood Springs residents, with a small fee for those outside city limits. Participants can also pick up free compost after drop-off.\n\n* * *\n\n## What Residents Should Know\n\nMany of the city’s cleanup services require proof of residency, and several programs—especially curbside pickup and tree giveaways—require advance registration due to limited availability.\n\nTogether, these events provide a coordinated effort to reduce waste, support neighborhood cleanup, and promote environmental responsibility across Glenwood Springs this spring.",
