Douglas County slash-mulch site opens for the season at new location, paving the way for a future one-stop shop for waste disposal

Beginning Friday, April 3, slash-mulch and green yard waste services will operate at a new location: 5675 Delva Way in Sedalia

In 2025, your diligent yardwork and wildfire mitigation around your home helped Douglas County convert 32,841 cubic yards of tree limbs and yard debris into mulch – roughly the volume of 10 Olympic-sized swimming pools.

Now, the resident-favorite slash-mulch and green yard waste programs return for the 2026 season at a new location with extended, early-season hours.

The new site, located at 5675 Delva Way in Sedalia, will officially open Friday, April 3, and Saturday, April 4, from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day.

For the first two weekends, Douglas County Public Works will open the site both Friday and Saturday to help accommodate demand. After that, the site will return to its regular Saturday-only schedule through Oct. 31.

County staff will be on-site directing traffic, and message boards will guide residents entering the new location.

Residents hoping to avoid longer lines are encouraged to visit on Friday, April 3, or Friday, April 10.

Beginning this year, the previous slash-mulch site in Castle Rock is no longer in operation.

What you need to know before your visit:

In the future, this location will serve as a convenient one-stop shop for slash-mulch, green yard waste, electronics recycling, hazardous household waste disposal and Douglas County’s upcoming biochar facility.

For more information, visit Douglas County’s Slash-Mulch webpage.
