Special Curbside Pickup Dec. 31 – Jan. 11 
Trees collected intact by the County on regular Monday-Friday weekly trash days following Christmas and later turned into mulch available from County facilities.
Place trees at curb no later than 6 a.m. on your regular trash collection day after removing ALL decorations, nails, stands and plastic bags.
After Jan. 11, Christmas trees are handled at curbside as part of regular year-round yard waste collection, which means turned into mulch. Trees over 8-feet long will need to be dismantled.
