Wallingford Sets Christmas Tree Collection Schedule

If you haven’t taken the ornaments off your Christmas tree yet, you have until the end of the week to take advantage of the town’s annual Christmas tree collection.

The Public Works Department will begin picking up natural Christmas trees in all sections of town beginning Monday, Jan. 12. The town says the trees must be at the curbside by Sunday, Jan. 11.

Trees must be clean of ornaments, bows, tinsel, etc. No plastic bags or wreaths will be picked up. This is a one-time pickup. If residents miss the deadline, trees may be taken to the Wallingford Compost Area at no charge.

Wallingford residents may recycle their natural Christmas trees at the Compost Area adjacent to the Wallingford Recycling Center on John Street on Monday, Thursday and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. through January 12, 2015. Trees must be brought to the Compost Center by January 12. The Compost Area will be closed from January 15 to March 15, 2015, reopening March 16, 2015.
