Christmas Tree Collection
Residents who receive curbside recycling services should contact their homeowners association, town office, or private waste collector for Christmas tree curbside recycling information. See Curbside Refuse and Recycling Collection for more information.

Christmas Tree Recycling Do's & Don'ts
Christmas trees should not be placed in bags. All decorations and stands should be removed before setting the trees out for recycling or taking them to any of the county’s collection locations. Christmas trees placed in plastic bags, and trees with ornaments, lights, or other items cause problems when they are processed into mulch.

The Christmas tree drop-off program is not available to Christmas tree vendors or solid waste collectors with multiple trees to recycle. Contact the Loudoun County Department of General Services, Waste Management Division, at 703-777-0187 for additional recycling options.

For more information, please call Loudoun County Department of General Services, Waste Management Division, at 703-777-0187.
