Join a group effort to clean up the neighborhood in the wake of winter. Meet at Arapaho Park for project instructions. The main focus of the cleanup efforts will be the Adams and Monroe corridors. It takes a village, we hope you will join your neighbors in this effort to clean our streets and sidewalks. Check back here for more information closer to the event.
Community Garage Sale
June 2-3
June 2-3
Take advantage of an opportunity to reach a large number of potential buyers and declutter your home! A neighborhood-wide garage sale in Highlands 460 is scheduled for Friday and Saturday, June 2 and 3. This event is organized and sponsored by The Steller Group real estate team, which has been coordinating highly attended garage sales for neighboring communities since 2009.
Participation is FREE: all marketing expenses are underwritten by The Steller Group. Advertising will be placed in The Denver Post, The Centennial Citizen, and online outlets, and professionally printed directional signs will be put out the weekend of the sale. During the sale, buyers will be able to strategically navigate the neighborhood with the use of maps that pinpoint each selling location.
It is important to register by Sunday, May 28 if you will be selling—not only does it get you on the sales map and ensure the placement of directional signs leading buyers to your home, it allows event advertising to promote a large number of homes as participants, increasing shopper attendance.

Large Item Pickup
June 9-10
June 9-10
Large Item Pickup provides residents with a convenient way to dispose of items not typically allowed as part of traditional curbside trash pick up. This is a great time to clean out your garage and throw out items that don’t fit in trash receptacles. Many residents feel that this event is the most important part of being a paying member of H460! Please note, only members who have paid dues by May 15 will be eligible to participate.
The trash company will receive a list of paid members so they are aware of pickup locations. Items should be placed at the end of the property without obstructing walkways or streets. In order to stay within our budget for this event, we are asking that trash be limited to two cubic yards. This is approximately the size of two large trash receptacles or two standard-sized refrigerators. This can be accomplished by breaking down and consolidating trees and furniture as well as bundling branches and yard waste.
Paying members will receive stickers prior to the event that should be placed on items for disposal. Stickers will be delivered to doorsteps by June 4. If you’re a paid member and don’t receive a sticker, please email events@h460.org. Be sure the stickers are visible on your junk pile by June 9. They do not need to be on every item as the trash company will pick up everything in proximity. Please communicate with your household that items that are not being disposed of should be cleared of the disposal pile/area. There is only one visit per truck per address.
Items that will NOT be picked up are as follows*:
Any single item that cannot be lifted by 2 people (more than ~150lbs); liquid of any kind; any appliance with Freon unit such as refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners; car bodies; car batteries; antifreeze; motor oil; tires; propane tanks; sealed containers or drums; tanks under pressure (oxygen, helium, propane); fuels; oils; any item listed as hazardous material; chemicals; corrosives; pesticides; herbicides; paint; radioactive waste; pharmaceutical waste; industrial waste; fluorescent lighting; household trash; televisions; computer monitors; printers; No dirt, rocks, concrete, gravel, roofing shingles; Bikes of any kind
*If you have a bike to donate, please contact Kent Husa, a H460 resident who founded the non-profit Cycle Movement (https://cyclemovement.bike/), at info@cyclemovement.bike or communication@h460.org to arrange for drop off or pickup for donation.
