DeKalb County to Offer Free Christmas Tree Curbside Collection Service

DECATUR, Ga. – The DeKalb County Sanitation Division announces free Christmas tree curbside collection service for county residents Dec. 27, 2016 - Jan. 17, 2017.

Trees will be collected during residents’ regularly scheduled garbage, recycling and yard trimmings collection day. In order to participate, residents must remove all decorations from trees and place them curbside. Tree length must be 7 feet or less. Trees that cannot be trimmed to required size may be taken to the county-owned Seminole Road Landfill or collected by the Sanitation Division’s special collection unit (fees may apply)

This service provides an opportunity for residents to dispose of Christmas trees sustainably and free of charge. All trees will be recycled and converted to mulch.
