Christmas Tree Recycling

The city will be recycling Christmas trees from January 3 through January 14th, on the neighborhood recycling days.  For Eight Streets this means you can put your tree out for recycling on the mornings of January 4th and January 11th.   Trees put out on any other day will be taken as trash.

To get your tree recycled, it has to be free of all lights, ornaments and decorations, and must not be in a plastic bag.  If you use a bag to remove your tree form your home, take the bag off the tree once you get streetside.

Trees taken for recycling are shredded and turned into compost which is given out free by the city each Spring.
