Christmas Tree Drop-Off

Christmas trees laying in the ground

Each year, we have drop off locations available during the first two weeks of January. We mulch them and the mulch is then available for our customers.

  • This is for live trees only
  • If your tree is over 6 ft, cut it in half
  • Remove all lights, decorations, and stands, even wooden ones
  • Do not bag trees
  • No live wreaths, garlands, or plants accepted

Approximately two weeks after each of these events, the mulch will be available at the Bitters Brush site for free while supplies last.

Under the city’s Tarp Law, residents must cover brush loads with a tarp or a $5 penalty may be assessed.
