Scroll down this page for local Sonoma County California recycling and responsible disposal options for holiday waste, from Christmas trees and wreathes, to lights, ornaments, wrapping and packaging. Many towns and cities offer curbside collection, even for Christmas trees. Counties and unicorporated areas typically have a number or drop-off locations.
Christmas trees are usually colllected from December 26th through
the first 2 or 3 weeks in January. Whether your tree is picked up from
your curb,
or you drop it off, be sure to remove all
remove all lights, wire, tinsel, ornaments, nails, stands, other
NON-Organic decorative materials and other materials that are not part
of the original tree. This includes tree stands also. Flocked trees are
occasionally accepted (call to verify), but not artificial trees. Large trees (larger
than the standard 6 - 7 ft tree) may need to be cut in half to
be acceptable by your
curbside garbage hauler.
The trees and wreathes are usually chipped and made into a mulch which is ofteny made available, free to city or county residents.
Ornaments and light strings are usually placed into your curbside collection bin. Some localities have year-round collection centers. The same is true of wrapping paper and boxes.
Always follow the links (usually the blue, underlined name of the city or county) below for updated information, as these agencies often wait until the last minute to change dates or update their information. If your area is not specifically mentioned below, call your trash collection agency and ask!
The annual Sonoma County Christmas Tree Collection Program runs the first two weeks in January. Christmas trees are recycled into mulch and
compost. H. Residents have four options for recycling their Christmas tree this year:
1. Cut the tree to fit in your yard waste container
or have your whole tree picked up at the curb (select areas). Put your tree in your yard waste container and place at the curb on your regular
yard waste collection day. The tree MUST be CUT TO FIT inside the container (4 foot or less sections, please). Trees sticking out of the
container can interfere with the lifting arm on the truck. Thank you for your help. Cloverdale, Cotati, Healdsburg, Petaluma, Rohnert Park,
Santa Rosa, Windsor and unincorporated Sonoma County have whole tree collection. Place your unflocked tree beside your yard waste container on
your regular collection day in early to mid January.
Unincorporated Please visit
www.unicycler.com after December 15th for updated information.
Outside of listed days, place tree in yard waste container; cut the tree
to fit. Please do not bag your tree.
2. Call (707) 565-3333 for an appointment to have a non-profit in your area pickup your tree.
Call before Friday, January 2, 2021 to arrange for pickup. The suggested donation for this service is $7 for trees less than 6 feet and $10 for
larger trees.
