Here's How To Get Rid Of Your Christmas Tree: Danville

DANVILLE, CA — The year is 2020. Your Christmas tree is looking dry, limp and a little bit sad. Brittle tree needles litter your living room floor.

Now what?

Trees can be recycled curbside during the week of Jan. 6, on your regularly scheduled garbage pickup day, according to Republic Services, which serves Danville, Alamo, Diablo and Blackhawk. Place your trees curbside on collection day after removing any lights, decorations and stands. Trees that are eight feet long or taller should be cut in half.

If you have a flocked tree, be sure to schedule an appointment at 925-685-4711. Flocked trees can be collected curbside for a fee or picked up as a customer's once-per-year on-call garbage cleanup, according to Republic. Flocked trees can also be cut to fit inside the black landfill cart.

Anyone who misses the collection week can have their tree hauled away during the regularly scheduled pickup on the week of Jan. 20.

Can't wait until then?

Danville's Boy Scouts of America Troop 36 will also have a tree pickup program. Contact the troop for more information.

Anyone with questions about Republic's pickup may contact 925-685-4711.
