Parting is such sweet sorrow. Christmas trees are in our homes for such a short time but can be a large part of holiday memories. Do the city a favor and recycle/compost your tree so it can live on in mulch for someone’s garden. Here’s the scoop of how to do it:
City of Boulder/Boulder County Dec. 23 – Jan. 31:
Holiday trees may be taken to the City of Boulder/Boulder County Yard Waste Drop-off special holiday tree collection located at Western Disposal at 5880 Butte Mill Rd. Open to all Boulder County residents and free of charge. The holiday tree recycling drop-off is open 24 hours. NOTE: FOR THOSE WITH CURBSIDE COMPOST SERVICE, Western Disposal will pick up and compost trees that are put by your compost bin at the curb on your compost pick-up day. If you don’t have composting service or if you put out your tree on the recycling or trash day, it will go to the landfill.
