The City of Denver is anticipating many broken and downed tree branches with heavy winds coming through the metro Wednesday.

DENVER — With heavy winds blowing through the Denver metro area, Denver Parks and Recreation reminds residents where they can drop off tree branches that get damaged during the storm.

Drop-off sites will be available starting Thursday, Dec. 15 and remaining open through Wednesday Dec. 22, Denver Parks and Recreation tweeted.

There will be three sites for branch disposal:

  • Cherry Creek Transfer Station (7400 Cherry Creek S. Dr.): Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Saturday 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
