Dumping Your Christmas Tree In Farmington, What You Need To Know

Town of Farmington

FARMINGTON, CT — With the holidays firmly in our collective rearview mirrors, attention now turns toward disposing of that natural Christmas tree that decorated Farmington living rooms.

For residents of the Town of Farmington's trash collection service, the Christmas tree collection is scheduled to start on Monday, Jan. 13.

It will continue for approximately two weeks, with residents asked to place Christmas trees near the curb.

The Farmington Highway & Grounds Division of Public Works (not the trash collection service) will pick up trees around the same day as residents' trash collections.

Winter weather may delay the pickup and residents should make sure their trees are not buried and are visible after a storm.

All plastic bags, stands, lights, tinsel, ornaments, etc., must be removed from the trees so they can be chipped safely with no contaminants.

Residents who do not have the town trash collection may bring their Christmas trees to the Tunxis Mead Compost Area on Wednesdays from 8 a.m. to noon, weather permitting.
