How To Discard Your Tree In Farmington, What You Need To Know

FARMINGTON, CT — Life is returning to post-holiday normal this week in Farmington and, starting early next week, the town is planning to take away the last vestiges of it.

The Town of Farmington's trash collection service will begin collecting discarded Christmas Trees on Monday, Jan. 9.

This, town officials said, will continue for approximately two weeks.

Residents are asked to place their Christmas tree near the curb and the Farmington Highway & Grounds Division of Public Works (not the trash collection service) will pick up trees around the same day as trash collection.

Winter weather may delay the pickup and residents should make sure their trees are not buried and are visible after a storm.

All plastic bags, stands, lights, tinsel, ornaments, etc., must be removed from the trees so they can be chipped safely with no contaminants.

Residents who do not have the town trash collection may bring their Christmas trees to the Tunxis Mead Compost Area, located on Tunxis Mead Road, on Wednesdays from 8 a.m. to noon, weather permitting.
