Treecycle

Thank you for a great 2024-2025 Treecycle. See you next year.

Return the joy your tree brings you over the holiday season by giving it a new lease on life. Recycle your holiday tree by dropping it off at one of our collection sites! We’ll turn it into mulch made available to residents in the spring!

If you don't want to recycle your holiday tree (although we highly encourage it), we'll collect it on your large item pickup day. Trees left out for large item pickup will not be turned into mulch.

How it works:

Step 1.REMOVE: PLASTIC WRAP OR TIES, TWINE, DECORATIONS, AND STANDS

Step 2.Bring your tree to one of our locations below:
