Recycle Your Tree
After the Holidays
January 5th – 16th
Treecycle 2009 - Denver Recycles' annual Treecycle program will be collecting and recycling thousands of Christmas trees again this holiday season. The Christmas trees are ground into mulch, which is made available free to Denver residents in the spring at the “Treecycle Mulch Giveaway & LeafDrop Compost Sale.” Treecycle helps Denver avoid using landfill space, paying disposal fees and allows the City to provide residents with a valuable resource, mulch made from used Christmas trees.
Recycling your tree is easy.
Remove all tinsel and decorations from your Christmas tree. No artificial or flocked trees, tree stands or trees in plastic bags. Christmas trees only.
Manual & Barrel customers set your tree out on your normal trash collection day near your normal set-out location during the two week period starting January 5 th.
Dumpster customers set your tree out for collection on January 5 th or January 12 th and it will be collected during that week.
Be sure your tree is set out by 7 AM and at least 4 feet away from any containers, bags, dumpsters or other obstacles.
