Carson City Christmas tree curbside, drop-off recycling efforts begin Jan. 7
As we head into the final day of the holiday season, Carson City once again offers Christmas tree recycling in cooperation with Capital Sanitation and Waste Management.
As in previous years, Christmas trees can be placed curbside on your regular trash collection day or taken to one of the drop-off locations listed below.
Trees will be chipped in the springtime and used as mulch. This program continues to be a huge success.
Carson City Public Works would like to thank the citizens for their participation over the years. Last year, for example, the city was able to redirect 34 tons of wood waste from the landfill.
The dates for curbside tree collection are: Monday, Jan. 7 to Friday, Jan. 13, 2019 on your regular trash day. If trees are longer than six feet, cut them into sections no longer than six feet.
Christmas tree drop off bins will be at the following Carson City locations beginning Monday, Jan. 7:
— Big Lots parking lot at Clearview and South Carson Street
— Public Works yard at Airport Road and East Fifth Street
— Bully’s parking lot, 3530 North Carson Street
— Waste Management Parking lot at 5560 Sheep Drive
— Carson City Landfill (Green Waste Pile).
After Jan. 13, residents can take their Christmas trees to the Carson City Landfill for recycling. Trees left curbside after Jan. 13 will be disposed of as garbage and will need to be cut into 3 foot sections so they will fit into Waste Management trucks.
Also when preparing to recycle your tree, remove all decorations, lights, tinsel and bases from the trees before recycling. Call the Carson City Environmental Control Authority at 887-2355 Extension 7390, 7380 or 7376 for information.
