City Of Solon To Begin Annual Christmas Tree Recycling Collection

SOLON, OH — The City of Solon’s annual Christmas tree recycling collection will begin soon and local residents are advised to put their trees out by the curb for pickup.

The city announced Wednesday that crews will be working their way around the city to collect live trees but will only be collecting clean trees. Residents must remove all lights, ornaments, garland, tinsel, tree stands and plastic from their tree before placing them out by the curb.

All artificial trees will be collected and discarded. Artificial trees should be placed in solid waste carts for collection, city officials said.

Residents are reminded that their tree may not be collected on the normal day for collection although crews will make one complete pass around the city to collect any tree that is placed out for curbside collection. Pine wreaths with wire should be placed in residents’ automated solid waste cart.

Residents with any questions about Christmas tree collection should contact the Solon Service Department at (440) 248-5834.
