How can I dispose of my Christmas tree after the holidays?

We’ll give your used Christmas tree new life by recycling it into compost or wood chips.

There are three easy ways to recycle your tree:

1. The best way to dispose of your Christmas tree is to place unflocked trees in your green waste bin. Remove all branches and cut the trunk into sizes small enough to fit within the bin. Make sure the tree fits completely within the bin with the lid closed.  This is the most cost effective disposal solution which reduces city costs and helps keep your utility rates low.

2. Take unflocked trees to one of the City’s Christmas tree drop-off sites on any of the following dates: December 26 or 27, 2009; January 2 or 3, 2010. 

    The drop-off sites are:

    - Maidu Park - 1550 Maidu Dr, Roseville, CA 95661 (Map it)

    - Mahany Park - 1545 Pleasant Grove, Roseville (Map it)

    - Washington Boulevard (across from the All American Raceways), Roseville

3. As a community service and fundraiser, Roseville’s Boy Scouts of America troops will pick up Christmas trees throughout the city on the two weekends following Christmas. To take advantage of this service, place your tress at the curb before 9:00 a.m. Donations are appreciated and are used to cover Boy Scout Summer Camp costs.

After the dates listed above, Roseville residents can dispose of their trees at the Western Regional Landfill (3033 Fiddyment Road). For hours, rates and directions visit WPWMA.com.
