The holiday race is on! No, not the one at the shopping mall but the one where you hope your Christmas tree will outlive the holiday before turning brown or losing all its needles. Hopefully, you know enough to keep that tree watered from the moment you brought it home. In the best-case scenarios, your Christmas tree should last around 5 weeks. After that you’re pushing it! A dried out Christmas tree is not something you want hanging around your home. There are some available Denver municipal services which can pick up the tree but these are typically a “one shot” deal. If you don’t have the tree out when their trucks buzz by then you’ll be out of luck. It makes a lot more sense to make a tree pick-up appointment on around your schedule and that’s just what you can do with Junk King Denver.
Junk King is the leading Denver junk removal specialist. At this time of year, Junk King is geared up to handle all kinds of post-holiday junk removal projects. Top of the list is Christmas tree removal. It won’t matter a bit to them how many needles fall of your tree onto the back of their truck. They’re happy to sweep up at the end of every working day. It’s a lot better for those needles to end up on the Junk King truck then the back of your SUV!
Keep in mind that you don’t have to hire Junk King Denver just to take away your Christmas tree. Junk King can also clear out all the clutter you’ve built up over the holiday.

Junk King can help you make room for your Christmas presents by carting off that junk in one trip.
Wouldn’t it be great to start off the New Year with a home that is free of clutter? The same can be said for your backyard. Maybe some of those outdoor holiday decorations have seen better days. If you’re replacing them with the after Christmas bargains then let Junk King help you remove those items instead of putting them back in storage up in the attic or down the basement. Your home space is too valuable to be taken up with stuff you’ll never use again. Let Junk King Denver help you reclaim that space and get rid of all your holiday trash!
The Denver Union Station is getting a makeover. Developers are going to maintain the historic charm of the building but there’s going to be some new neighbors rolling in. Plans are for 22,000 square feet of the ground-floor area to be split up into 10 retail stores and restaurants. There’s also going to be a remodeled 12,000 square foot lobby area and 40,000 square feet outdoor plaza. On the upper levels will be office for Amtrak and a 110 room hotel. Quite the overhaul. The good news is that the developers intend to keep the station open for business while all this work is going on.
Denver has a very healthy recycling program that can best be summed up by the slogan, “Go Purple!” That would be the color designation of the recycling bin that every resident has access to. Into those bins can go the type of items you would expect to be easily recycled like cartons, plastics, aluminum, cardboard, glass, office paper, junk mail, newspapers, magazine, catalogs, paper bags, paperboard, phone books, empty aerosol cans and wrapping paper. Besides falling under the category of recyclables do you notice another commonality? All of those items can fit into the purple bin. They can be stomped on and crush to fit neatly in that bin. But what about all that stuff you can’t stuff into the purple bin? Do you have to hang onto it? Can it ever be recycled? The short answers are “no” and “yes.” You can get rid of bulky items and they can be recycled when you contract with the professional junk removal services offered by 
Are you a recyclables hoarder? Yes, that is a thing. It starts out as you having the best intentions. You want to do your part for the environment so you begin separating all of your refuse. The kitchen stuff is easy. That would be all the newspapers, cartons, magazines, soda cans, glass bottles and just about anything else that can fit into you recycling bin for a weekly pickup. The problem is when you start hanging onto stuff in the hope of recycling it… someday. It’s just that “someday” keeps getting put off.
As far as precipitation goes we’ve had a very dry time around Denver in the last couple of months. All of that changed with the welcome and very wet relief of a batch of thunderstorms which recently rolled through the area. Over at the Denver International Airport there was an impressive 1.41” of rain dumped down in a single storm cycle. Measuring out on a ruler finds that 1.41” doesn’t seem very deep but it can quickly add up especially if your basement is downhill of all that rain. Many local residents woke up to find themselves ankle deep in water in their basements. That’s not something anyone wants to wake up to! If you should happen to find yourself on the receiving end of that kind of flooding you might want to reach out the 
There is a real mess at the Pennsylvania Mine and it’s not getting any cleaner. Despite its title, this mine is located in the sprawling Colorado Mountainside just outside of Denver. The mine has long been abandoned but the damage from leaks lingers on. The problem is that no one is rushing to clean up the site for fear of lawsuits. You read that right: lawsuits. It turns out there are some “good Samaritan” groups who are happy to step in and do what they can to stem the tide of toxins but according to the EPA, those groups could end up being sued for the costs of the entire cleanup. That’s a little bit like charging you to clean an entire city block if you just pick up one gum wrapper to throw it away.
Just because you live in the heart of Denver doesn’t mean you can’t have a garden. As proof of this, recently Denver Urban Gardens held of tour of four of their best examples of growing in the city. It was a wonderful opportunity for local residents to get some tips from these urban gardeners and become inspired to do their own planting. Here are some of the Denver Urban Gardens and their descriptions:
This summer a unique new rental business has popped up in New York. For a $100 folks can rent a backyard. This particular backyard is really an abandoned lot squeezed between two buildings that a pair of savvy entrepreneurs made a deal for. The “landlords” spruced up the yard with a couple of BBQ grills, coolers, lawn chairs and hula hoops. When they first advertised the yard they were swamped with 1,000 requests from potential renters. Apparently, folks in New York are starved for what most Denver residents already enjoy: an idyllic backyard. What kind of shape is your backyard in? Have you made the most of it during the summer? It’s not too late to give your yard a make-over.
If you’re planning on moving to the Denver area, you’re going to need to know some things that the locals already are familiar with. First up, Denver is a great town. But it’s also a high town situated at around 5,280 feet about sea level. This might take some adjusting especially if you’re used to lower levels and like to work out. You might want to take it easy until you get used to the air pressure. Once you do get acclimated, you’ll be happy to note that Denver has been ranked as one of the slimmest cities in the state. That’s probably thanks in no small part to the 20,000 acres of national parks, 205 city parks and dozens of fitness centers. You just can’t help but get into shape when you live in Denver.
