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
On your regular yard waste collection day, unflocked trees may be placed inside your yard waste container for pickup. The tree must be cut into pieces 4 feet or shorter to fit inside the container with the lid closed.
Whole tree * curbside pickup is only available in Windsor. For areas outside of Windsor, provided your tree does not fit inside your yard waste cart, cut your unflocked tree in half and set it out on your curb on specified dates:
