Holiday Tree Collection Set For West Hartford

WEST HARTFORD, CT — The West Hartford Department of Public works will collect Christmas trees curbside from Jan 4 to Jan. 15.

Collection will begin on Jan. 4 in the "Monday collection area" and continue into the Tuesday area, and so on.

Crews will make two sweeps through town and may get ahead of schedule, weather permitting, so residents may put trees at the curb (not in the street) on any day during the first week of collection.

Residents must have trees out by 6 a.m. on their designated trash day. Drivers cannot return for trees put out after the designated trash day.

Trees are recycled into wood chips so all decorations, lights and plastic bags must be removed.

Artificial trees are not allowed.

Residents may also bring their trees to the town Recycling Center at 25 Brixton Center Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 4:30PM. An annual permit is required.

Residents can call the Department of Public Works at 860-561-8100 with questions.
