Christmas has come and gone, but now what do you do with your tree? Depending on where you live, you may have several options.

Check out our list below:

For residents who already have curbside recycling and yard waste collection, just set your Christmas tree out on your regularly scheduled yard waste collection day.

YARD WASTE – Place at curbside by 6:00 a.m. Yard waste is what grows in your yard! Place all leaves, grass clippings and small yard debris in a 40-gallon or smaller can or heavy-duty plastic trash bag for collection. No can or bag may exceed 50 lbs. Collection of containerized yard trash is unlimited. Non containerized leaves, grass clippings and small yard debris will not be collected. All stumps, trees and limbs may not exceed 4 feet in length or 50 lbs in weight for a total of no more than 5 cubic yards (approximately 4ft. x 4ft. x 8ft.) per week of non containerized yard trash. Christmas trees may be placed at the curb with yard waste. Be sure to remove all decorations.
