Curb Your Christmas Tree and Wreaths After the Holidays

After all the holiday festivities are over, give your Christmas tree, wreath, and other cut greenery another life as compost and mulch.

Simply remove all ornaments, decorations, tinsel, nails, and the tree stand and set the empty tree and greenery at the curb for pickup as a part of yard waste collection by your waste and recycling collection service provider, during the first two full weeks of January. 

Or take the tree and greenery to one of locations listed below to be recycled:

• The Prince William County Landfill at 14811 Dumfries Road in Manassas.  Monday – Friday, 6 a.m. – 6 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. The facility is closed New Year’s Day.
