Residents looking to dispose of their Christmas trees can have their tree picked up and turned into mulch in January.
FREDERICKSBURG, VA — As Christmas comes and goes, you may wonder when is the best time to put out your Christmas tree on the curb. Depending on how early you got your tree, it may be starting to dry out.
In the City of Fredericksburg, Christmas tree collection won't begin until Jan. 10, city officials announced on Wednesday. The trees will be collected separately from trash and recycling so they can be turned into mulch. Tree collection will continue until Jan. 28.
Before setting out Christmas trees for recycling, remove all ornaments, tinsel and stands. Trees should not be placed in plastic bags.
