  • Montgomery County - Phone: 301-590-0046. The county collects Christmas trees along with regular yard waste collection. Put your trees on the curb by 7 am on your regular recycling collection day. Residents in apartment buildings are subject to rules set by building managers. If you miss your collection day (either home or apartment) you can take your tree to the Shady Grove Processing Facility in Derwood. Christmas trees are given a new life after being composted or chipped for mulch, so keep the tree in a natural state. Remove the stand and all decorations, including lights, ornaments, tinsel, and garland. Be sure there is no metal attached to the tree. Remove any plastic bags from your tree. "Living" Christmas trees with root balls and artificial trees cannot be collected as yard trim. You can also recycle branches and needles at home by placing them under trees and shrubs as a temporary winter mulch -- or chop them up and add them to your compost pile!
    How to dispose of your artificial tree:
    If you have Montgomery County-provided trash collection service, request a bulk trash pickup for your artificial Christmas tree.
    If you have privately-provided trash service because you or your homeowners' association have direct contract with a company, check with your collection company for instructions.
    If your artificial Christmas tree is still in usable condition, try offering it for reuse on your neighborhood email list, Craigslist, your local Freecycle group, or similar places.
    Wreaths and roping are typically bound together with wire. Wire could damage our shredding equipment. And, pieces of wire would become "contaminants" in mulch. If you can separate the greens from their wire, bag or bundle them as yard trim, and set them out for collection on your recycling day. Otherwise, dispose of your wreaths and roping as trash.
