Don’t Be Trashy: Remove Decorations Before Tree Disposal
When the holidays are over, your live Christmas tree still has options: curbside yard waste pickup, the county Landfill or the Compost Facility (both now open Sundays). Just remember: remove all lights, ornaments, tinsel, nails and tree stands before disposal. Don’t be trashy, keep it decoration-free so it can be properly recycled.
