Christmas Tree Recycling in Parker Colorado & Douglas County

December 26, 2022 By Chrissy

Parker & Douglas County Christmas Tree Recycling Info

The Town will host its annual Christmas Tree recycling program from Dec. 25 through Jan. 29  2021 for Parker residents.

Parker Christmas Tree Recycling

Drop-off dates: Dec. 25 through Jan. 29
Hours: 6 a.m. to 11 p.m.
Contact Information: Town of Parker at 303-840-9546
Mulch: Available on a self-serve basis on-site while supplies last for the first week in January

Salisbury Park (East paved parking lot), 12010 S. Motsenbocker Rd.

The drop-off is available solely for Parker residents to recycle their Christmas trees. Additional yard waste and tree branches are not permitted. No commercial tree lot disposal is allowed as our elves have a hard time removing all of the tags.

Both green and flocked real trees are accepted. Before dropping off any Christmas trees, please remove all plastic tarps, tree stands and nails, ornaments, lights, garlands, and tinsel. No artificial trees, garlands or wreathes with wire backing will be accepted.

Please drop off during park hours only, 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., and do not illegally dump any other items at the drop-off location.

Tree Recycling Information

The trees collected by the program will be chipped into mulch, which is available at the same site at no charge to residents. The remaining mulch will be utilized throughout the Town and not discarded in a landfill.

Residents should not place Christmas trees in garbage containers. Keeping trees out of landfills helps extend the life of landfills and produces a useful resource. The annual Christmas Tree Recycling Program is just one of many ways that Parker residents can reduce, reuse and recycle.

Please remove all ornaments, lights, tinsel, garland, plastic wrap, tree stands, wire, rope, nails, etc. before bringing trees to be recycled. Live trees with artificial snow sprayed on the branches cannot be mulched. Please check with your local jurisdiction or newspaper during the holiday season as Christmas trees are typically accepted at the following locations, but are subject to change.

How to sign up for emergency notifications in Parker

January 1, 2019 By Chrissy

code red emergency system for parker co

Life can change with just a moment’s notice, so it’s important for emergency response personnel to be able to connect with residents during an emergency. Changes in technology are allowing governments to do so in more ways than ever before.

In an effort to take advantage of new technology and to continue to ensure accurate crisis communication with residents, the Parker Police Department and all other Douglas County agencies have transitioned to a new mass notification system called CodeRED.

Sign up for CodeRED Emergency Service

CodeRed is a high-speed telephone emergency notification system that allows public safety personnel to send messages directly to residents – whether they are home or away – during an emergency. It uses geo-tracking to target specific areas with prerecorded phone messages, emails or texts.

Some Douglas County residents may have been signed up for a previous system that all jurisdictions within the County used; including the Town of Parker. County and municipal agencies are no longer using that system. Though contact information will be transferred to the new system, it is suggested all residents sign up for the new system to ensure they are included in this important effort. Business owners are also encouraged to register their contact information.

The Douglas County Emergency Telephone Service Authority decided earlier this year to go with a different notification provider. After requesting proposals from a variety of providers, CodeRED rose to the top. The authority, which is funded by a monthly 70 cent phone surcharge on all cell phones and landlines within the County, will pay for the system.

Like the former system, CodeRED alerts may be implemented in situations such as police activity in the area, an Amber Alert, wildfires or other emergency incidents. However, the system does not include weather alerts. The Parker Police Department encourages residents to stay tuned to weather radios and local media for information during severe weather.

In order for CodeRED to perform at its best, it needs an accurate database of contact information, associated with addresses. That’s why the public’s help is needed. To ensure your information is included in this database, you must sign up.

Registering is free online at http://NotifyDouglasCounty.org

Required information includes First and last name, street address (no P.O. Boxes), city, state, ZIP code and primary phone number. Data will be kept confidential.

Residents can also sign up using cell phone numbers and emails because dispatch centers can also use CodeRED to send messages via text message or email. Signing up allows residents to set their contact preferences. Should residents move, they will need to register again with the new address.

You can also download the app to your iPhone or Droid Smart Phone and either register for a new account or log in to the one you currently have using this QR code.Code Red QR Code

CodeRED will alert people of incidents in their area. The Parker Police Department also uses its Facebook and Twitter accounts to keep the public updated on events, issues and emergencies. Visit facebook.com/ParkerPoliceDepartment and follow us on Twitter @ParkerPolice.

Recognizing CodeRED messages: CodeRED messages will have caller ID No. 866-419-5000 and the name “Emergency Comm.” We recommend programming the number into your cell phone as a new contact using the name “CodeRED Emergency,” so that you can call the number to hear the message again if you need to.

The system does not include weather alerts. Douglas County and its municipalities encourage residents to stay tuned to weather radios and local media or use one of the many local news station apps for information during severe weather.

NWS alerts are now automatically being sent to all cellular phone subscribers during any severe weather conditions that occur within the county of the cellular subscriber. Douglas County does not have any control over those alerts and unfortunately, the NWS alerts are not an opt-in/opt-out service so the only way that you will not receive those alerts is a setting on your cellular phone.

How reliable is this system?
According to national averages, emergency notification systems connect with users 70 percent of the time. CodeRED has been tested in the County, and reports are showing it connects an average of 85 percent of the time. Cell tower connections and technology issues impact these statistics.

If you have specific questions for the Parker Police Department please call Ofc. Dawn Cashman at 303.805.6527 or email at dcashman@parkeronline.org

how to set up your reverse 911

With the onset of smartphones, iPads and PDA’s and the rising cost of everything have promoted many residents to get rid of their landline telephones. Those are the phone numbers that are registered in the Reverse 911 database so what shout we do now?

No problem, it’s actually very easy to set up the Reverse 911 system to alert you by email, cell phone or text message to you and other family members in the case of any kind of an emergency.

You simply go to your local county or sheriff’s office website and it allows you to add your home address, your business address and then many forms of contact including your home phone, cell phone, text message and email. The service also lets you rank by order of preference so they contact you first at your most used source of communication. Residents can edit their profiles at any time.

Other Reverse 911 ideas

  • Elderly Parents: Go and set this system up for them and put yourselves as alternate contact points as well.
  • House or Pet Sitters: You can also have your house or dog sitters number added when you are away on vacation to give you peace of mind as well and simply remember to remove them when you come home
  • Kids just leaving the nest? How about setting it up for them as well and including yourself on the contact list.
  • Vacation: Add a neighbor or nearby relative that knows you are going and can get a hold of you on the road.

The Reverse 911 system is designed to alert residents about fires, floods, toxic environmental issues and other emergencies using the Everbridge Aware™ mass notification system. Not only will you get the alert but it will also tell you what you should do in each circumstance, evacuate, remain in your home or help to locate a missing child.

You can sign up for Reverse 911 calls in most counties in Colorado and Across the United States. Below are some Denver Metro links and search on either your county or sheriff’s office website in your area.
  • Douglas County
  • Jefferson County
  • Arapahoe County

The Parker Police Department is offering you the opportunity to know if there are sex offenders that live close to you.

You can sign up online to be given adequate notice concerning sex offenders who are now or will be resident in your local Parker neighborhood.

We just signed up while writing this article and it’s very easy to do.

Register with Douglas County to get email alerts when local sex offender information is updated.

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office, Gilpin County Sheriff’s Office, Denver Police Department, Lone Tree Police Department, Parker Police Department, Castle Rock Police Department, Canon City Police Department, Fort Lupton Police Department, the Elizabeth Police Department, and the United States Marshal Service have teamed up to create a resource site of registered sex offenders living in our jurisdictions that fit the criteria of C.R.S. 16-22-110.

Our agencies believe that community education is paramount to our success as public safety providers. Please use the information responsibly and with the intent that “education creates prevention.”

Dealing with Wildlife in Douglas County Colorado

September 13, 2016 By Chrissy

 “Wildlife in Our Town”

One of the most attractive thing about living in Douglas County is the abundant wildlife and open space but that very close to nature feel can also be very challenging to newcomers to the area.

 This is the first in a two-part series about how to live with wildlife in the Town of Parker.

In most situations, people and wildlife can coexist. The key is to respect the wildness of wildlife.

• Do NOT feed wildlife! Feeding songbirds is okay, but be aware it may attract other animals.
• Don’t give wildlife the opportunity to get into your garbage. Store it in metal of plastic containers with tight-fitting lids. Keep the cans in a garage or shed and put trash out only when it’s scheduled to be picked up.
• Keep pet food inside.
• Fence gardens and cover fruit trees with commercially available netting to protect your harvest.
• Leave wildlife alone! Wildlife should not be harassed, captured, domesticated or fed.

Snakes

In Colorado, nearly all species of snakes are not only harmless but beneficial to humans because of their appetites for insects and rodents. However, if you prefer to keep them from moving into your yard or home, follow these four tips:
1. Eliminate cool, damp areas where snakes hide. Remove brush and rock piles, keep shrubbery away from foundations and cut tall grass.
2. Control insect and rodent populations (the snakes’ primary food source) to force them to seek areas with a larger food supply. Put grains in tightly sealed containers and clean up residual pet food and debris.
3. In rattlesnake-infested areas, construct a snakeproof fence around the backyard or play area.
4. To prevent snakes from entering basements and crawl spaces, seal all openings ¼-inch or larger with mortar, caulking compound or 1/8-inch hardware cloth. Check for holes or cracks around doors, windows, water pipes, electrical lines, etc.

Snakes may seek shelter in basements, sheds, or crawl spaces in cold weather. If it becomes necessary to remove a snake, several humane methods are available.
1. A good way to remove a nonvenomous snake is to seek it into a large bucket with a broom and then release it outdoors.
2. Damp burlap sacks covered with dry sacks to retain moisture are attractive denning sites when placed along a wall in a basement or crawl space. Check the bags daily and remove snakes with a shovel.

Deer

In areas where deer are common, shrub and tree damage may be a problem. Commercial deer repellents or mixtures containing eggs have proven successful in warding off deer. You can also keep deer from eating flowers and shrubs by putting wire cylinders and fences around plants or by planting deer-resistant plants.

If you come across a fawn lying quietly by itself leave it alone. Even though the fawn appears to be orphaned, it is not alone; its mother is nearby, aware and attentive. If you are absolutely certain the parent animal has abandoned their young, mark the location on a map or measure the mileage from a landmark and report it to the Animal Services Officer.

Craveable dishes like Red Velvet Belgian Waffle with whipped vanilla bean-spiked cream cheese and thick cut hickory smoked bacon, or the crabcake benedict with poached eggs, asparagus and toasted focaccia and a spicy fresh Cajun lobster sauce.  Wash it down with the hangover-busting Build-Your-Own Bloody Mary that arrives at your table with house-made Bloody Mary Mix, Tito’s Vodka and a hefty plate of “fixin’s.”  If you’re still celebrating, stay simple with the House mimosa of champagne and fresh squeezed orange juice, available by the glass or in a carafe, as are all the Grille’s brunch cocktails.

Postino WineCafé (2715 17th St.) is ringing in the new year by offering the unique Postino brunch – the compact and craveable menu is expanded for brunch to include scratch offerings from the kitchen such as Walnut Toast with triple crème brie and tartly sweet house-made berry preserves, or the Ciabatta French Toast with the house made berry preserves, almonds and vanilla crème Fraiche to finish, or the B.E.L.T., a hearty and filling breakfast panini on soft ciabatta with applewood smoked bacon, scrambled eggs, dijonnaise, lettuce and tomato. Naturally, the signature bruschetta boards are available, including the roasted butternut squash bruschetta with roasted pumpkin seeds, ricotta and fresh chives. Wash it down with a selection from the eclectic and approachable wine list where any glass of wine is $5 until 5 p.m., and the fresh housemade mimosas are also $5.

Habit Doughnut Dispensary and Carbon Beverage Café (1553 Platte St.) are both open at 7 a.m. on New Year’s Day, and brunchers can grab a doughnut on-the-go at Habit or indulge at Carbon with a hangover-helper Devil-Fried Chicken and Waffles, with the aptly named devil-fried chicken with sriracha maple, creamy whipped butter over almond waffles or buttery brioche doughnut; or start the new year’s right with a healthy bowl of the Tree Hugger Grains with carbon coffee muesli over housemade yoghurt,with a sprinkling of chia seeds, pepitas, toasted nuts,honey and tart fresh blueberries.  Sip on one of the many adult-beverage options like the ever-customizable sangria, with options of red, white, rosé, Prosecco or even kombucha or the Metal Sangria with Trve American Stout.  Fresh OJ is on tap for a simple, customizably-infinite Mimosa experience with your friendly tap tender behind the bar.

MAX’s Wine Dive (696 Sherman Street), the cozy casual complement to our craft-brewing-beer-crazy town offers a comfort-food take on brunch for New Year’s Day, including the special for the day, the must-have Prime Rib Hangover Fries, with tender prime rib, healthy dose of cheese, scallions and bacon all topped with jalapeños, Cheese, Scallions, Bacon, Jalapenos, Sunny Side Up Eggs and Spicy Lemon Hollandaise. Splurge on the Bottomless Mimosa for $15, or a Wine Dive Sangria with house red or white wine and brandy, seasonal fruits and a bit of cane sugar.

Duck into Argyll Whisky Beer (1035 E 17th Ave – www.argylldenver.com) for a hearty New Year’s Day Brunch from the new brunch menu.  Served until 3 p.m., start with an order of bottomless mimosas for a bit of the hair of the dog if you celebrated a bit much the night before.  Maybe you’ll try the Traditional Corned Beef Hash with poached egg, greens and a spicy mustard sauce, or you’ll opt for the Crayfish & Artichoke Stew, enhanced by rice and a fried egg.  Feeling especially hungry?  Tuck into the city’s best take on the English Breakfast, with house-made sausage, fried egg, tomato, mushrooms and beans.  Delicious food, drink and service with just a hint of British cheekiness.  There’s a Scotch Egg here with your name on it.

Zengo & La Biblioteca (1610 Little Raven St., Riverfront Park, Denver  will be serving up their bottomless brunch on New Year’s Day from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. For $39, each guest enjoys unlimited small plates and free flowing brunch cocktails, including a Build Your Own Bloody Bar (Maria or Mary) with over 30 fixings to make it to your liking.  A taste of what’s on the menu includes Chorizo Benedict (Photo in dropbox link), spicy tuna roll, shrimp vegetable potstickers and bacon fried rice.
