Following an extreme wind event last week that resulted in downed trees and debris across the county—and with another wind event occurring today through tomorrow—Gilpin County has re-opened the Slash Site to assist residents with storm-related cleanup.
The Slash Site re-opened last week and will remain open for an additional weekend, providing residents extra time to safely dispose of fallen branches and woody debris.
Slash Site Details
- Dates: December 11–21
- Hours:
- Wednesday–Saturday: 7:00 a.m. – 2:30 p.m.
- Sunday: 8:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
- Who May Use the Site: Gilpin County residents only
- Commercial Loads: Not permitted
This emergency opening is intended to help residents manage debris from recent wind events and to reduce wildfire risk through proper disposal.
Safety Reminder
Residents are encouraged to use caution during ongoing high wind conditions. Please secure all loads, watch for falling branches, and follow on-site staff directions at all times.
For safety reasons, the Slash Site may close temporarily if wind conditions become too hazardous. Any closures or changes in operations will be communicated as quickly as possible through the County’s website and social media channels.
Thank you for helping keep Gilpin County safe, clear, and resilient.
