Wondering where to recycle your Christmas Tree in Frisco Texas?

The City of Frisco has an easy process in place to dispose of your tree. But before you think about recycling the tree, make sure its environmentally ready - remove the stand, lights, ornaments, and any wiring.

The magic number is 5 feet. If your tree is over 5 feet tall, it will need to be cut into sections no larger than 5 feet. Once the tree is removed of all Christmas Decoration and cut into smaller sections, the tree can simply be placed 3 feet away from your trash can.

On trash day, the tree will be picked up and be composted. These trees are not taken to the landfill.

If you have a Flocked Tree, they can not be placed outside. Call CWD @ 972.392.9300 to request the tree be picked up. CWD will charge a small $10 fee for this service.

John,

Cut it up and burn it like a good old Texan! ;)

you mean there are people who turn their trees in with decorations? Sheesh. I guess I shouldn't be so surprised.

I put mine back in the box and put it back in the attic! I can't remember the last time I put up a live tree.

Happy New Year to you!

Greg - Contrary to what some believe, we don't live in the sticks so not random burning for us. Although that would be easier. HA! However, Im sure CWD has received lots of trees with ornaments and/or lights. After Christmas, isnt it just easier to toss it and start fresh??? My wife doesnt think so. We have had the same ornaments for years, plus our tree is fake (no watering and no drying out early).

Tom - Happy New Year! We are with you. For at least the past 6 years I've had a fake tree. We do miss that Pine Scent though.... which can be easier replaced with some scented candles.
