Christmas Tree Pickup to Begin This Week in Baltimore County

BALTIMORE COUNTY, MD — Crews will pick up Christmas trees in Baltimore County this week. The trees will be chipped and later used as mulch.

Christmas tree collection will take place in Baltimore County from Monday, Jan. 9, to Saturday, Jan. 14.

Trash and recycling trucks will get the trees as long as ornaments and any other decorations have been removed. No artificial trees will be collected.

Residents should put out live trees along the front curb or street. Do not put trees in alleys, as those will not be collected.

Those who wish to drop off Christmas trees themselves may take them to any one of Baltimore County's three drop-off locations:

• Eastern Sanitary Landfill Solid Waste Management Facility in White Marsh
• Central Acceptance Facility in Cockeysville
• Western Acceptance Facility in Halethorpe

Visit the Bureau of Solid Waste Management website or call 410-887-2000 for more information.
