Recycle Your Christmas Tree In Fremont

FREMONT, CA — Fremont makes it easy to have your Christmas tree composted — just kick it to the curb.

First, a reminder that Christmas trees are only compostable if they are free of all decorations, tinsel, nails, and tree stands, including wooden stands nailed to the bottom of the trunk. Flocked trees contain fire retardant and cannot be composted.

Curbside recycling:

• Dec. 30 through Jan. 10, 2020
• If your tree is less than 6 feet in length, place the whole tree in the gutter on your collection day
• If your tree is over 6 feet in length, cut the tree in half and place both halves in the gutter on your collection day
• Make sure your tree is in the gutter, not on the sidewalk

Green Organics Cart:

• Cut compostable tree so that pieces fit loosely in your green organics cart with the lid closed
• Place the cart at the curb on your scheduled collection day

Garbage Cart:

• If your tree has flocking or is otherwise not compostable, cut it up so pieces fit loosely in your black garbage cart with the lid closed
• Place the black garbage cart at the curb on your scheduled collection day
