Farmington's Christmas Tree Pickup Starts Monday, Jan. 8

Town of Farmington

FARMINGTON, CT — Residents looking to dispose of their Christmas trees easily just need to place them on the curb and the town will do the rest.

Starting next week, residents using the Town of Farmington's trash collection service will see their trees disappear starting Monday, Jan. 8.

The collection, according to town officials, is expected to continue for the next two weeks thereafter.

Folks are asked to place their Christmas trees 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 the trash collection.

Winter weather may delay the pickup and residents should make sure their trees are not buried and are visible after a storm, with snow actually expected on Sunday, Jan. 7.

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 (Tunxis Mead Road) on Wednesdays from 8 a.m. to noon, weather permitting.
