Coming soon! ⏰

Join us on Saturday, September 19th our final TLC Clean-up Day at Applewood Baptist Church (11200 W 32nd Ave, Wheat Ridge, CO 80033). Starting at 8:00am, we’ll be accepting trash, recycling and yard waste—plus, we’ll also be offering electronics recycling! Bring your old TVs, computers, tablets, appliances, cables, batteries and light bulbs to recycle alongside your other items.

As always, this event is for Wheat Ridge residents only and is free—including e-recycling—with a suggested donation of $10. Please visit wearelocalworks.org/neighborhood-clean-up-days for more information including a full list of accepted items.

➡️ And YOU can help support your community by signing up to volunteer!
We are seeking several volunteers to assist throughout the event—but don’t worry, volunteers may dispose of their items before their shift begins. Visit wearelocalworks.org/volunteer to sign up!

Wouldn’t you love to get ahead and switch someone else’s club from a putter to a driver? Well, now you can! Consider it a little friendly interference. 😂⛳️

At the Localworks Golf Tournament, players can choose from our sabotage menu to mess with their friends (or foes). With our One Club Wonder sabotage, you can pick a player who must use the same club for an entire hole. Want maximum chaos? Upgrade it and make their entire foursome play the hole with just one club each. 😈

Let us fund your neighborhood event!

Did you know? Localworks offers micro-grants for Wheat Ridge residents! Our Block Party and Dumpster grants are designed to help remove barriers to community building and neighborhood connection by providing funding for events like block parties or neighborhood clean-ups.

This year, with support from the Colorado Gives Foundation’s Social Connectedness initiative, we’re able to offer *twice* as many grants as usual. And we’ve got big plans to expand our resident programming event further in 2027! Think more grants, bigger reimbursements, more Block Party Library equipment, and even a Block Party truck 👀

The best part? There are still grants available for 2026! 🌟
➡️If you were waiting for a sign to plan an event in your community this fall, this is it! You can apply for one or both of our resident grants:

🎪Block Party Grant
We’ll reimburse you up to $150 in block party supplies like food and drinks, musicians, or activities when you host a block party or neighborhood gathering. Best paired with free, reservable equipment from our Block Party Library!

🗑️Dumpster Grant
Ready to beautify your neighborhood? We’ll deliver a dumpster to your street for the weekend so you and your neighbors can easily dispose of yard trimmings, old furniture, or other bulky items.

Learn more about our resident grant programs and apply today by visiting https://wearelocalworks.org/resident-grants/.

I feel like you’re just buying golf tourney tickets for the free beer…and that’s okay with us! 🍻⛳️

That’s right — every registered player gets a drink on us. We’re not saying that’s the only reason to play, but it is a bonus!

Grab your tickets today at wearelocalworks.org/golf!
