Christmas Tree Collection Begins Soon in West Hartford

WEST HARTFORD, CT - The annual Christmas tree collection by the Public Works Department will begin on Tuesday, January 3 in the Monday refuse collection area.

Residents in the Monday and Tuesday refuse collection areas should have their trees at the curb by 6 a.m., according to a release.

Residents do not have to wait for their trash day to put the trees out as DPW may get ahead of schedule. The town will be making a sweep through the town twice and we may get ahead of schedule, weather permitting.

The collection will end on January 13, 2017.

The collection will proceed from the Monday refuse collection area into the Tuesday refuse collection area, then into the Wednesday refuse collection area and so on until crews make two complete passes of the town.
Residents are reminded that the trees are recycled into wood chips. Therefore, please remove any plastic bags, ornaments, lights or stands from your tree before you place it at the curb.

Please help us during snowstorms by removing your tree from the side of the road.

Residents may also bring their trees to the town Recycling Center at 25 Brixton Center from Monday-Friday from 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. There are no weekend hours at the Recycling Center until April.

Please call the Department of Public Works if you have any questions.
