Holiday Tree Collection

The City's Department of Solid Waste Management will collect holiday trees for recycling for all Solid Waste customers from January 2 - 31, 2007. Trees should be placed at the curb by 7 a.m. on residents' normal household collection day.

Trees taller than six feet should be cut in half. Residents should also remove all decorations, including tinsel, lights, garland, and ornaments, as well as stands, nails, and other hardware. Residents are also asked to not place trees in bags. Trees that have been completely sprayed with fake snow ("flocked") will not be recycled, but will be removed by the City for disposal.

Holiday trees may also be dropped off at the City's Waste Disposal & Recycling Center at 2115 East Club Boulevard, Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Saturday, 7:30 a.m. to 12 p.m., at no charge until January 31. Trees delivered after that date will be subject to the usual disposal fees.
