Enjoy your Christmas tree through New Year’s Day Carson City. Beginning Jan. 2 to Friday, Jan. 6, Christmas trees can be dropped off at a number of Waste Management bins.
Christmas tree drop off bins will be at the following Carson City locations beginning Monday, Jan. 2, 2017: The parking lot of Big Lots at Clearview and South Carson Street; Public Works Yard at Butti and East Fifth Street; Bully’s parking lot, 3530 North Carson Street; Waste Management Parking lot at 5560 Sheep Drive. Waste Management advises residents to not leave trees at these places until the bins are in place.
In Carson City, Christmas trees are collected from curbside usually during the first 2 weeks in January. We will update once curbside pick up dates are announced.
Be sure to 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 also includes tree stands. Flocked trees are usually accepted, but not artificial trees. Large trees (larger than the standard 6 - 7 feet tree) should be cut in half to be acceptable by your garbage hauler. In most cases, the trees are chipped and turned into a mulch.
