Treecycle: It’s as Easy as Can Be!

Your Christmas tree gave you so much joy during the holidays. Now give it a second life and recycle it with Denver’s Treecycle program. All trees collected through the program will be chipped into mulch and given away to Denver residents in the spring. Denver residents should set out their Christmas trees for recycling from January 3rd to January 13th.

- Remove all decorations and tree stand. Sorry, no artificial or flocked trees. Real Christmas trees only.

- Set your tree out for collection during the first two weeks of January.

Dumpster service customers should place their Christmas tree out for recycling on either Tuesday, January 3rd or Monday, January 9th for collection during that week. Do not place trees in dumpsters. Trees should be placed at least 4 feet away from dumpsters.
Barrel and Manual service customers should place their Christmas tree out for recycling on their normal trash day between January 3rd and 13th.

- Watch your tree get picked up for recycling.
