Note: The Christmas Tree collection sites have closed for the season. This information is provided purely for information purposes only. Depositing a tree a site at this time is illegal dumping, punishable by fine and imprisonment.

Note: Christmas trees will not be collected at the curb, as was reported in Wasteline.

• Please remove:
  • Nails
  • Wires
  • Ornaments
  • Tree stand
  • Plastic bags (please take bags home and dispose with garbage)
  • Lights
• Wreathes and evergreen roping will not be accepted.
• Flocked trees are ok.
• Thank you for making Christmas Tree recycling part of your holiday tradition.
• Share the Christmas spirit and ask a neighbor if you can help them get their tree to a recycling site.
• All sites close on January 14. Please do not deliver trees after this date.

At most Omaha sites, there will be volunteers to help you unload your tree during the dates and times listed. If you drop off your tree at another time, please throw your tree up on the pile. This will leave room for others to access the site.

You may begin using the sites on December 23. The sites are open daily, but staffed with volunteers only on the days listed. Sites close on January 14, 2008.
