Curbside Christmas Tree Recycling In Fremont

FREMONT, CA — Curbside Christmas tree recycling is underway in Fremont. Now through Friday, here's the plan, here's how to dispose of your tree at the curb. If you miss Friday's deadline, check the last two bullet points below.

• Green Compost Cart: Cut the tree into pieces to fit loosely in your compost cart with the lid closed. Place the cart at the curb on your scheduled collection day.
• Black Landfill Cart: This option is for trees that are flocked, contain fire retardant, or have decorations or tinsel. Please cut up your non-compostable tree, so pieces fit loosely in the trash cart with the lid closed. Place the cart at the curb on your scheduled collection day. Non-compostable trees can also be collected as part of a bulky pickup.
• Curbside Collection: For trees under 6 feet in height, place the entire tree in the gutter on your collection day. If your tree is over 6 feet in height, cut the tree in half and place both halves in the gutter on your collection day. Please ensure your tree is in the gutter, not on the sidewalk, and free of all decorations.
• Drop Off At Republic Services: Until Friday, January 31, 2025, take your tree to the Republic Services customer center at 42600 Boyce Road in Fremont (Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.). Please speak with the office personnel first. Compostable trees may be dropped off for free, and non-compostable trees may be dropped off for a $5 charge, payable via cash or credit/debit card.
• Bulky Trash Pickup: Schedule a bulky trash pickup by calling Republic Services at 510-657-3500.
