BALTIMORE — As the holiday season comes to an end, it's time for residents to start thinking about getting rid of this year's Christmas tree.
Some counties have already announced dates for curbside tree collections as well as some drop off locations.
Baltimore County will start collection on January 9. Residents will need to place their trees outside by January 15 where they would normally place trash and recycling.
Pickup times will not necessarily be on regularly scheduled trash or recycling days, so the County says to just leave the tree until it is collected.
In Howard County, there arenine drop-off sites that will recycle your tree into mulch between December 26 and January 21.
Some areas in Howard County have available tree pick-up services, in which case it has to be cut and tied into bundles of less than four-feet and 40 pounds.
To find out if your neighborhood has tree collection, call 410-313-6444.
Over inAnne Arundel County, Christmas trees will be collected before 6am on regular recycling days. Trees can also be dropped off at local recycling facilities.
Baltimore City will offer free tree mulching to its residents from December 27 through February 4 at the Northwest Residential Drop-off Center at 2840 Sisson Street. Hours are Monday through Saturday from 9am to 5pm.
DPW will also offer curbside tree collection starting December 27.
Be sure to remove all tinsel, ornaments, and lights prior to leaving out or dropping off.
