City Of Berkeley: Compost, Dispose Trees To Keep Them Off Streets, Sidewalks

Press release from City of Berkeley:

December 23, 2021

Berkeley, California (Thursday, December 23, 2021) - When you're ready to dispose of your holiday tree, you can cut it up and place it in your bin for curbside pickup or drop it off whole at the City's Transfer Station.

Whichever method you choose, remember to remove all lights, decorations, tinsel, plastic bags, and plastic tree stands first.

Help keep Berkeley clean by keeping discarded trees off our streets and sidewalks.

Prep your tree for curbside collection

For curbside collection, cut your tree up, so it fits into your green compost cart with the lid closed.

Drop off whole trees at the Transfer Station
