Other Disposal Options

Residents who choose not to recycle their Christmas tree have the following two options:

1. Residents may cut the tree into smaller pieces and place it in their green waste cart for collection on any of their regularly-scheduled waste collection days. Remember that the tree must fit entirely inside the waste cart. Trees placed next to the waste cart cannot be collected by the automated vehicle.

2. For those residents who cannot either recycle their Christmas tree or cut it in pieces and place it in their waste cart, the tree may be placed at the curbside by Monday, January 9, 2012, and it will be collected. Christmas trees placed at the curbside after this date will not be picked up and must either be recycled or placed in the waste cart for collection as described above.
