Christmas Tree Recycling
Did you know that you can recycle your real Christmas tree? It can be picked up by the City from your curb in January and recycled into compost. Follow the steps below:
• No artificial, flocked, or treated trees allowed for pickup
• Remove all ornaments, tinsel, lights, and decorations
• Remove the stand/base
• Do not wrap in plastic
• If the tree is taller than six feet, cut it in half or cut the top off so no piece is longer than six feet
• Place the tree at the edge of the street by the curb on your regularly scheduled Green Waste Collection Week- See Waste Collection schedule
• Do not block water flowing through the gutter
• If you have any questions, contact the City of Modesto Green Waste Division at 209-577-5463
