Christmas Tree Recycling for Leesburg Residents

From The City of Leesburg: Leesburg residents can put their live Christmas trees at the curb for recycling collection in January. CSI will collect Christmas trees on the following days:

SE/SW Quadrants Thursday, January 5, and Thursday, January 12, 2017

NE/NW Quadrants Friday, January 6, and Friday, January 13, 2017

Residents should prepare their trees for collection, using these tips:

· Remove all decorations. Check carefully for items hidden behind thicker branches or limbs.

· Remove tinsel, fake snow, angel hair and garlands.

· Remove all lights.

· Remove all twine, metal or plastic ties, and string.

· Remove stands and bases.

· Do not place trees in plastic tree disposal bags.

· Place trees at the curb the night before collection day.

Before January 5 and after January 13, town crews will collect live trees during brush collection, as long as the tree trunk is less than 6 inches in diameter. You must place the tree at the curb by Monday evenings for this service.
