Carson City offers curbside Christmas tree disposal through Jan. 4
Carson City is offering Christmas tree recycling in cooperation with Capital Sanitation/Waste Management Inc. As in previous years, trees can be placed curbside on regular collection days or taken to one of the drop-off locations listed below.
Trees will be chipped in the springtime and given to local residents to use for mulch in their yards. Last year, 36 tons of wood waste was redirected from the landfill.
The dates for tree collection are:
Curbside collection will be from Dec. 31 through Jan. 4 on your regular trash day. If trees are longer than six feet, please cut them up into sections no longer than six feet.
Drop boxes will be at the following locations from Dec. 31 through Jan. 4 only:
— JC Penney Parking Lot
— North Town Plaza/Near Bully's
— Carson City Landfill
— Capital Sanitation, 5560 Sheep Drive
— Between the Carson City Public Works Corporate yard and Treatment Plant on Airport Road (previously Butti Way)
After Jan. 4 Christmas trees can be taken to the Carson City landfill for recycling. Trees left curbside after Jan. 4 will be disposed as garbage and will need to be cut into three foot sections so they fit into the Waste Management trucks.
Please Note:
Remove all decorations, lights, tinsel and bases from the trees before recycling. Flocked trees can't be recycled. Call the Carson City Environmental Control Authority at 887-2355 ext. 7390, 7380 or 7376 for more information.
