Before you recycle your Christmas tree:

• Remove lights, ornaments and tree stands, including wooden stands and nails.
• Do not place the tree in a plastic bag.
• Flocked trees are acceptable for recycling.

Trees placed curbside will only be collected for trash. Trees taller than 6' must be cut in half for trash pick-up.

Please do not take Christmas trees to the leaf recycling drop-off sites.

Free mulch from the trees will be available to residents at the landfill in the spring for gardens and landscapes.
