The Department of Sanitation will collect clean, non-bagged trees left on the curb weather permitting on curbside composting collection days any time. City residents should remove all tree stands, tinsel, lights and ornaments from trees before they are put out for collection. Trees and wreaths that still have items attached cannot be composted. All details here. Trees will be chipped, mixed with leaves, and recycled into rich compost for the city’s parks, institutions, and community gardens. Those wishing to dispose of artificial Christmas trees should remove all lights and ornaments and disassemble them to recycle the base and trunk (pole) with metal, glass, plastic, and cartons on your recycling day.
