Spring Cleaning Made Easy
in The Meadows
Spring is here and it’s time to do a little cleaning!
Spring is here and The Meadows Neighborhood Company has created an event to make your spring cleaning much easier! The event is free but it is only open to Meadows Residents. Participants will need to bring their key fob or driver’s license with a Meadows address to verify their residency. It will be held in the Grange parking lot and we will have multiple stations available to handle all of your spring cleaning needs. Please note the event is on a first come, first served basis. If we reach capacity at a drop off station we may not be able to accept your items. Below is a list of our drop off stations with what we can and cannot accept.
Date: Saturday, April 29
Time: 10:00 am - 4:00 pm
Grange Parking Lot

A mobile paper shredding truck will be on site where you can watch your documents get shredded. There is a limit of 3 banker’s sized cardboard boxes per person.
Salvation Army –
A Salvation Army truck will be available that can take a large variety of donated items. They will accept some large appliances (must be working) and furniture but it is at their discretion and they have the right to refuse these items.
Medication Drop Off Site –
The Castle Rock Police Department will be hosting a booth where you can safely dispose of prescription medications, over the counter medications, ointments, and pet medications.

They suggest that the medications should be placed in a plastic baggie or that you mark out your name and identifying information on a prescription bottle.

A truck will be available that can recycle old electronics such as computers, laptops, printers, and cell phones. This station cannot accept T.V.’s or large appliances.
Project Recycle Bike Drive –
We will be working in collaboration with Project Recycle who is a local non-profit organization that provides bikes to underprivileged families. If you have a used bicycle you no longer want please consider donating it.
Trash –
There will be several large trash bins available to accommodate your general trash. Information on what can’t be thrown away in these bins is listed below.
Recycling –
A large recycling container will be on site where you can recycle most of your household items. All cardboard must be broken down and flattened before it is put in this container. Information on what can’t be thrown away in this bin is listed below.
Items We Cannot Accept
T.V.s, hazardous waste or chemicals of any kind, soil, sod, rocks, uncut or untied branches (all branches must be cut into 4 foot lengths or less and tied together in a bundle no more than 12 inches in diameter and leaves and grass clippings need to be bagged), bricks, concrete, building materials, auto parts, liquid waste, fire extinguishers, propane tanks, paint, stains, insecticides, tires, and car batteries.

This determination is at the discretion of the Meadows Neighborhood Company.
