There is no additional charge to residents of Longmont. Just cut the limbs to manageable lengths and unload them at the designated area in the Center (no trash, no bags, no grass clippings/weeds or other debris please). The limbs are ground into a mulch which is great for summer gardening and is available to residents at the Center free of charge – just help yourself! Call 303-651-8416.
