To recycle a Christmas Tree:
- REMOVE all decorations, tinsel, and stand from the tree.
- CUT* the tree into pieces, if needed, to fit into a green bin.
- PLACE the tree pieces inside the green bin and put out for regular pick-up on collection day.
*If a Christmas tree is too big to cut and place inside the green bin, simply place the tree curbside next to your green waste bin on collection day.
Flocked trees and artificial trees can’t be recycled. Please place them in the black container to go to the landfill.
NEVER, EVER try to burn your tree in a fireplace.
