Danville residents who wish to recycle their live-cut Christmas tree should place their tree on the curb for collection by the Public Works Department. Residents do not need to contact the department to schedule the pickup. Crews will pick up the tree on the day of the week when a resident’s trash and yard waste is regularly scheduled for collection.

Trees are taken to the City’s compost and mulch facility. All trees must be free from plastic bags, ornamental decorations, lights and tinsel in order to be composted. Tree stands and all nails and metal stakes should also be removed.

No artificial trees will be collected for composting.

For a fee, residents may also bring trees to the city’s compost and mulch facility Monday through Friday, from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. The facility is located at 101 Airport Road (behind the Danville Regional Airport and beyond the closed landfill).

The trees will be turned into compost and made available to the public on a first-come, first-served basis.
