How To Properly Dispose Of 'O Tannenbaum' In Danville

DANVILLE, CA – Another year over, almost -- which means time to dismantle and discard the Christmas tree.

This year's recycling pick-up week begins Dec. 31 and runs through Jan. 4 for residents in the Town of Danville.

Residents are asked to leave trees on the curbsides on their normal trash pickup days during that week. But as a reminder: Due to the New Year holiday, all pickups from Tuesday through Friday of that week will be delayed by one day, according to officials from the town and RecycleSmart.

For locals who miss that week of Dec. 31 - Jan. 4, a second round of pickups will be Jan. 14-18. Residents can leave their trees curbside on their normal pickup days.

And after Jan. 18 ... residents will need to either cut up trees to place in the green (organic waste) bins or call Recyclesmart at (925) 685-4711 for an organics-only pick-up.

A FEW REMINDERS:

• Lights, ornaments, tinsel and trimmings must be removed.
• Leave trees at curbside on the same day as regular pickup during the tree recycling week.
• Trees more than eight feet in height should be cut in half.
• Do not leave stands on the trees. Trees with stands will not be picked up.
• Flocked trees can be collected curbside for a fee or can be included in the once-a-year on-call garbage cleanup, but must be scheduled in advance. To set up a time for your flocked tree to be picked up, call (925) 685-4711.
• If cut to fit within the bin, flocked trees may be placed in the landfill (gray) cart.
