Christmas Tree Collection

During the month of January the City offers residents free Chistmas Tree disposal. There are two ways to take advantage of this service:

1. Take your tree to the designated dumpster next to the skate board park on Locust Lane. (map)
2. Call the the City at 410-848-9077 to get on the collection schedule. Trees are picked up on Mondays, along with the regular tree limb pick-up.

Either way you choose to do it, please follow these steps:

• remove all ornaments, decorations, and lights
• take the tree out of it's stand
• do not wrap the tree in plastic, trash bags, or blankets
• if we are picking it up at your house, set it out no sooner than Sunday morning

Trees collected through this program are shredded, along with other tree limbs, to be used as mulch on City flower beds, tree pits, and park grounds. Each year we are able to produce around 200 tons of mulch, which saves us from having to buy it at a local supply yard. So recycling your tree actually saves the City money, and contributes to the beautification of your public spaces!
