After the holidays, don’t throw your tree away—bring it to us for composting! Each year, Western works with local governments through the Yard Waste Drop-off Programs to keep Christmas trees out of the landfill. Western Disposal provides a free drop-off site for these trees from December 26 to January 31.
Please remove all nails, ornaments, plastic, tinsel, stands and lights before bringing in your tree. Flocked trees and wire-based wreaths are not recyclable.
Follow the signs from our gate to the drop-off area. If you miss the special drop-off, the City’s yard waste drop-off site at our facility is open year round. |
