丹佛LeafDrop落叶回收启动 落叶南瓜可堆肥别进垃圾填埋场
丹佛市交通与基础设施部10月5日启动年度LeafDrop落叶回收计划，邀请居民把庭院落叶和南瓜送往指定投放点制成堆肥，避免进入垃圾填埋场。已订阅堆肥服务的家庭，可直接把落叶装入绿色堆肥车，无需装袋。市府提醒，清理庭院时也可留少量落叶在草坪上，用割草机打碎后回田，增加土壤有机质。金秋落叶季，华人家庭打扫前后院时请留意投放时间与地点，并使用可堆肥纸袋。具体站点、时段与领袋方式可查询市府LeafDrop页面，让秋日清扫更环保省事。
Denver LeafDrop Starts: Turn Leaves and Pumpkins into Compost
Denver's Department of Transportation and Infrastructure kicked off the annual LeafDrop program on October 5, inviting residents to drop off fall leaves and pumpkins for composting instead of sending them to the landfill. Households with compost service can place leaves directly in green carts with no bagging needed. The city also suggests leaving a thin layer of leaves on lawns and mulching them with a mower to return organic matter to the soil. For Chinese families doing fall yard cleanup, check drop-off sites and hours in advance and use compostable paper bags where required. Site details, schedules, and bag information are posted on the city's LeafDrop page, making seasonal cleanup greener and easier.
