Christmas trees

Christmas trees are recycled into mulch and compost. Only real trees, free of decoration, lights, stands, tinsel and flocking can be recycled. There are three options for Christmas tree recycling:

Curbside residential collection

Whole tree curbside pickup is available throughout the County, except for in Sonoma and Sebastopol (in these areas, you should cut your tree down to fit inside your bin).

Please set whole trees less than 6 feet, or larger trees cut in half next to your yard waste bin on specified dates:

Cotati	January 3, 2022 - January 7, 2022
Cloverdale	December 27, 2021 - December 31, 2021
Healdsburg	December 27, 2021 - January 7, 2022

For curbside tree recycling on regular collection days outside of the dates above, please cut down unflocked trees free of all accessories and décor to fit inside the yard waste cart with the lid closed. Do not bag your tree.
