Rockville Collects Holiday Trees
Public Works Crews Pick Up Trees for Recycling
ROCKVILLE, Md., Jan. 6, 2009 - Rockville's Department of Public Works will collect holiday trees as part of its regular recycling collection. The trees will be taken to the Montgomery County Recycling Center, where they will become mulch.
Residents should place cut trees at the curb for pick up on regular recycling days, and they should also remove all ornaments and metals, wires, stands and decorations, including tinsel. Trees should not be bagged.
Because the City recently expanded the size limitations for tree collection in its regular weekly yard waste collection, holiday tree pick up is not limited to the month of January. The new size limits for trees are 2 feet in diameter and 8 feet long.
For more information on recycling and refuse service, or holiday tree collection, call 240-314-8568.
