CHRISTMAS TREE RECYCLING
Christmas Trees will be collected curbside in the City of Port Angeles during the week of January 9, 2012. Trees must be cut into 4-foot lengths, bundled, and put out on your regular garbage collection day. Please no tinsel, flock, or ornaments. You do not have to be a yard waste subscriber to get this once-a-year free service.
“Each year we collect about 600 Christmas trees for composting” reports Helen Freilich, Waste Reduction Specialist. “This is a great service for our residential customers who need to get rid of their tree”.
County residents can take their trees to the yard debris area of the Regional Transfer Station, Monday - Saturday 9:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. This year there are no holiday closures at the Transfer Station. A minimum yard waste fee of $5.00 is charged. The trees are mixed with other yard debris and made into Garden Glory Compost.
