Recycling your tree: Here are some options!
If you had a one-use tree this holiday season – here’s how to recycle it.
If you have Waste Management pickup service, you can put it out with your yard waste this week, as long as you follow these rules:
Waste Management collects Christmas trees from its residential customers. Be sure the tree is cut into three-foot sections and remove any tree stands, nails, tinsel and decorations.
If you are within Seattle city limits, you can take your tree to the South Transfer Station in South Park, as long as it’s not taller than eight feet (rules here).
Wherever you live, you are welcome to help out local nonprofits with these two tree-cycling events coming up next weekend:
