Nederland Sort Yard Closes Today

The Nederland area Community Forestry Sort Yard located at 291 Ridge Road just north of Nederland is now open to area residents. It is open from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m., Tuesdays through Saturdays, through Oct. 20. The sort yard is a free location to dispose of slash and logs.

As a reminder the sort yard does not accept logs which are currently infested with mountain pine beetles until after Sept. 15 (after beetle flight has ended for the year). Also, the sort yard does not accept raked up pine needles. Pine needles that you have cleaned up for fire mitigation needs can be hauled to the Western Disposal site at 5880 Butte Mill road on the east side of the City of Boulder. Call (303) 444 – 2037 for more info. County residents receive a 60% discounted rate at Western Disposal threw a partnership with Boulder County. One landowner informed me that they hauled 500 lbs of bagged pine needles for $9. To clarify, if the pine needles are still attached to a branch then we will accept them at the Nederland sort yard site. If the pine needles need to be raked and “scooped up” then they should go to Western Disposal.
