The city asks that before dropping your Christmas tree off that you make sure you remove all lights, wire, tinsel, ornaments, nails, stands and other non-organic decorative materials that are not part of the original tree.
They also won’t take any flocked, artificial or painted trees. If you want to get rid of an artificial tree, those can be disposed of on your scheduled junk waste collection day.
The trees will be turned into rich mulch and made available throughout the city.
