Recycle Your Christmas Tree in Woodbury

Christmas has come and gone, and you may be thinking about disposing of that drying-out Christmas tree in your living room. The Woodbury compost site will be open Saturdays, Jan. 7 and 14, from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. for the disposal of holiday trees and wreaths.

All other forms of yard waste also will be accepted on this date, according to a news release.

Before you deliver your tree or wreath, remove all foreign matter from the tree, including lights, wire tinsel, ornaments, plastic bags, nails, tree stands, etc. Flocked trees and wreaths are also not recyclable. Any trees or wreaths not meeting these conditions will be rejected, as they represent a safety hazard to both the operator and the chipping machinery.

There is a $10 charge per tree and $7 charge per wreath.

The compost site is located at 4600 Cottage Grove Drive, south of Bailey Road. The site is owned and operated by Composting Concepts Inc. Questions about the compost site should be directed to Composting Concepts at (651) 769-0531.
