Carson City area Christmas tree recycling and curbside pick-up schedule
There are several easily accessible Christmas Tree Recycling Programs provided by various government entities throughout the Northern Nevada region, so that your loved tree can be recycled in a safe and productive manner. Check below to find out how, when and where you can recycle your tree!
Carson City: For Carson City, Carson City Public Works will be offering curbside collection on your regular scheduled garbage day through Jan. 15.
Please remove all decorations, lights, tinsel and bases prior to recycling; if the tree is longer than six feet, cut the tree into pieces.
In addition, drop-off bins are available at the following locations:
- Public Works Yard on Airport Road between E. Fifth Street and Butti Way
- Waste Management parking lot at 5560 Sheep Drive
- Carson City Landfill (Green Waste Pile)
After Jan. 15, please take your tree to the Carson City landfill or place the tree in 3-foot long pieces in the yard waste garbage bin provided by Waste Management, with the lid closed.
For any questions please call (775) 887-2355 Ext. 7390, 7380 or 7376.
