CURBSIDE HOLIDAY TREE RECYCLING

Real holiday trees will be collected curbside by Athens Services. The collection period will begin on the day after Christmas through the second week of January on your normal pick-up day.

DISPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS

• Remove all stands, lights, ornaments, tree skirts, and tinsel.

• If your tree is more than six feet in length, please cut it in half.

• If you miss the collection period, please cut up your tree and place it in your green waste cart.

NOTE: Artificial trees, flocked trees, and trees coated with fire retardant are NOT recyclable or compostable; they will be treated as trash. If the artificial tree is still usable, please consider donating it. Broken or no longer usable artificial trees should be disposed of as part of a bulky item collection.
