Trash can be deposited at the transfer station using the normal, daily services for the standard fees. As always, the transfer station will provide its’ regular service of scrap metal, textile, cardboard, paper, aluminum, glass, steel and plastic collection for recycling.

The Diversion Day event is open to all residents and land owners within the Boulder County portion of the Allenspark Fire Protection District. Be sure to bring some ID to verify this. Utility bills work well for property owners whose primary residence is out of the area.
