Tree-Cycling

By recycling your Christmas tree, you’ll give it a new life as wood chips or compost! And, you’ll help reduce greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change.

• Curbside pickup and City-sponsored events: Place your tree on the curb for collection with your regular yard waste. Select your city from the menu below to contact your hauler for details or to visit your City's website for tree-cycling events.
