How To Recycle Your Christmas Tree In Walnut Creek

WALNUT CREEK, CA — One of the toughest parts of the Christmas season is taking down holiday decorations. And then there's the question of what to do with your dried-out Christmas tree. Here are the details for curbside pickup for Walnut Creek residents.

Christmas Trees

• Trees longer than 6 feet should be cut in half.
• Remove any tinsel, lights, or ornaments.
• Leave your tree at the curb the night before your scheduled pickup day.

Tree Lights

Tree lights can be recycled through hardware stores like Home Depot or Lowes or websites like Earth 911, which can help you find local or mail-in recycling options.

Since tree lights may be made of materials like copper, glass, and plastic they do not go in the trash bin.
