New Life for Christmas Trees


Montgomery County residents are reminded that when the holidays are over, they can recycle their live Christmas trees.

The Department of Environmental Protection’s Recycling and Resource Management Division advises residents of single-family homes, who receive county-provided collection service, to place their live trees at the curb on their regular recycling collection day. Businesses and residents of apartments and condominiums should check with their property/business managers or representatives for specific Christmas tree recycling instructions.

The trees are given a new life after being composted or chipped for mulch. For more information on Christmas tree recycling visit the DEP website.
