Trees left whole on the curb won’t get picked up, as they can damage city side-loader collection trucks. If you get a cut tree or other type of holiday tree, know which ones can be composted and which go to your trash bin.
To dispose of a compostable tree, cut the tree to fit inside your green compost cart with the lid closed. Make sure to remove all lights, decorations, tinsel, plastic bags and plastic tree stands. If it doesn’t all fit, ask a neighbor if they have space or wait until the following week to dispose of the rest.
