Now that the weather is turning warmer, the KCRMA Park Rangers would like to remind dog walkers to please pick up after your pet. Rangers appreciate trail users who place dog feces in bags, but remember to also place the bags in a trash can and do not leave them on the side of trails or at intersections. Please do your part and keep our open space clean! 

Waste Connections will offer an optional composting service later this year if at least 500 Ken-Caryl residents sign up for the fee-based option. Composting would be picked up every other week, and the fee of $11 per month would be billed directly to the homeowner. Items that can be composted include food, food-soiled paper and plant materials. If you are interested in this service, please email kencarylco@wasteconnections.com or call the Ranch House at 303-979-1876. In the message, say that you are interested in the composting service and provide your name, email, phone number and address. Assuming enough owners are interested, Waste Connections will contact you to complete the signup process.

The Community Recycling Event (formerly called the Not Just Electronics Recycling Event) is scheduled for Saturday, May 7 from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Ranch House parking lot. There will be a small fee for paper shredding and hard drive destruction, but all other acceptable items will be recycled or disposed of for free. Please note that Tube TVs and CRT monitors will NOT be accepted this year. Check out the news article for event details.
