Your Christmas tree gave you so much joy during the holidays, now give it a second life and recycle it with Denver Recycles' Treecycle program. Denver Public Works Solid Waste Management will be collecting Christmas trees for recycling starting Monday, January 3rd. All Denver residents whose trash is collected by Denver Public Works Solid Waste Management may participate.
1. Remove all decorations and tree stand. Sorry, no artificial or flocked (spray painted) trees. Christmas trees only.
" Dumpster service customers should place their Christmas tree out for recycling on either Monday, January 3rd or Monday, January 10th. Do not place trees in dumpsters. Trees should be placed at least four feet away from dumpsters.
" Barrel and Manual service customers should place their Christmas tree out for recycling on their normal trash day between January 3rd and 14th.
We need Denver's help to collect as many trees as possible so that we have an ample supply to grind into mulch to giveaway to residents in the spring at the annual "Treecycle Mulch Giveaway & LeafDrop Compost Sale." Additionally, every tree collected helps Denver avoid using landfill space and saves the City from paying disposal fees.
