Highlands Ranch Metro District has added an option for people to get curbside pickup if they can't remove tree debris left behind in the wake of the estimated EF-1 tornado in Highlands Ranch.

Anyone requesting must fill out a form found here.

In addition to curbside pickup, Highlands Ranch Metro District has three drop-off locations for residents impacted by the storm.

Highland Heritage Regional Park
9651 S. Quebec St.
Highlands Ranch, CO 80103
(South of Halftime Help Stadium, formerly Shea Stadium)

Redstone Park
3280 Redstone Park Circle
Highlands Ranch, CO 80129
(West side of Redstone Park)

Root balls will not be accepted at this location.

But they will be accepted, along with tree branches, at a yard located near Grigs Road and McArthur Road, starting Monday, June 26 at 8 a.m.

Highlands Ranch Metro District advises look for variable message signs to direct you to this new site.

And stay tuned for information and resources for people who can't transport tree limbs to these drop-off locations.
