Tree Recycling

CHRISTMAS TREE RECYCLING
~Leaves will not be collected with trees this year~

Residents of Boise, Ada County and most surrounding cities can recycle Christmas trees curbside on their regular trash day January 2-6, 2012 (see below for specifics).

Trees must be set away from regular trash carts and cans, 100% decoration free (includes tinsel and any spray-on materials) and cut into four-foot lengths. They will be collected on the regular trash pick-up day.

The following are the dates for this year's program:

Boise, Garden City - Curbside pickup from January 2-6 on regular trash day.
Eagle, Ada County - Curbside pick-up from 12/26 - 1/6on regular trash day.
Allied Waste Transfer Station - Located at 4485 S. Curtis Road (685-7700), the transfer station will have separate drop off boxes for City of Boise and Ada County residents until January 12^th free of charge.
Hidden Hollow Landfill - 10300 N. Seaman's Gulch Road, free of charge until January 14th, 2011. There is no size limitation on trees brought to landfill. (Landfill is closed New Years Day.)

Recycling Christmas trees residents save landfill space, which ultimately saves taxpayer's money. The wood is chipped and used for landscaping material, animal bedding and even to create energy. Last year Boise resident's alone, diverted nearly 7,300 Christmas trees from the going into the landfill.

Thank you for taking advantage of local waste-reduction and recycling options to reduce your share of landfill-bound garbage.

Sincerely,
