After the holidays are over, residents and businesses are encouraged to recycle Christmas trees. Two free drop-off locations are available from Dec. 26, 2012 through Jan. 12, 2013:

South Arlington
Calloway's Nursery
4940 S. Cooper St.
9 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily

North Arlington
Arlington Sanitary Landfill
800 Mosier Valley Road
7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. - Monday through Saturday

Before you recycle your Christmas tree:

  • Remove lights, ornaments and tree stands, including wooden stands and nails.
  • Do not place the tree in a plastic bag.
  • Flocked trees are acceptable for recycling.

Trees placed curbside will only be collected for trash. Trees taller than 6' must be cut in half for trash pick-up.

Please do not take Christmas trees to the leaf recycling drop-off sites.

Free mulch from the trees will be available to residents at the landfill in the spring for gardens and landscapes.
