Rockville Collects Christmas Trees
Public Works Crews Pick Up Trees for Recycling
ROCKVILLE, Md., December 30, 2009 - Rockville's Department of Public Works will collect Christmas 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.
The City will also collect artificial trees that are no longer wanted. Since these trees are not recyclable, residents seeking to dispose of an artificial tree should dismantle it and place the pieces in their gray refuse cart.
For more information on recycling and refuse service, or Christmas tree collection, call 240-314-8568.
