Where and How to Recycle or Dispose of Christmas Trees in Maryland after Christmas
2024 and in January 2025

In many urban and suburban areas, Christmas trees are collected from curbside during the first 2 weeks in January. Be sure to remove all
remove all lights, wire, tinsel, ornaments, nails, stands, other
NON-Organic decorative materials and other materials that are not part
of the original tree. This includes tree stands also. Flocked trees are usually accepted, but not artificial trees. Large trees (larger
than the standard 6 - 7 ft tree) may need to be cut in half to
be acceptable by your
garbage hauler. But scrroll down this page for more specific
information and local links.
What happens to the trees? In most cases, the trees are chipped and made into a mulch
which is usually made available, free to city or county residents.
Important: Never burn your Christmas tree in a fireplace or wood stove.
Burning the tree may contribute to creosote buildup and could cause a
chimney fire.
Tips: Always follow the links (usually the name of the city or county) below for updated information, as these agencies often wait until the last minute to change dates or
update their information (it's government, remember?). If your area is
not specifically mentioned below, contact your trash collection agency and inquire!

- Montgomery County - Phone: 301-590-0046. The county
collects Christmas trees along with regular yard waste collection. Put
your trees on the curb by 7 am on your regular recycling collection day.
Residents in apartment buildings are subject to rules set by building
managers. If you miss your collection day (either home or apartment) you
can take your tree to the Shady Grove Processing Facility in Derwood.
Christmas trees are given a new life after being composted or chipped
for mulch, so keep the tree in a natural state. Remove the stand and all
decorations, including lights, ornaments, tinsel, and garland. Be sure
there is no metal attached to the tree. Remove any plastic bags from
your tree. "Living" Christmas trees with root balls and artificial trees
cannot be collected as yard trim. You can also recycle branches and
needles at home by placing them under trees and shrubs as a temporary
winter mulch -- or chop them up and add them to your compost pile!
How to dispose of your artificial tree:
If you have Montgomery
County-provided trash collection service, request a bulk trash pickup
for your artificial Christmas tree.
If you have privately-provided
trash service because you or your homeowners' association have direct
contract with a company, check with your collection company for
instructions.
If your artificial Christmas tree is still in usable
condition, try offering it for reuse on your neighborhood email list,
Craigslist, your local Freecycle group, or similar places.
Wreaths
and roping are typically bound together with wire. Wire could damage our
shredding equipment. And, pieces of wire would become "contaminants" in
mulch. If you can separate the greens from their wire, bag or bundle
them as yard trim, and set them out for collection on your recycling
day. Otherwise, dispose of your wreaths and roping as trash.
