DeKalb offers free Christmas tree curbside collection

The DeKalb County Sanitation Division is offering free Christmas tree curbside collection for residents within its service area, through Friday, Jan. 10.

Trees will be collected during residents’ regularly scheduled sanitation collection service days. To participate, residents must remove all decorations from trees and place them curbside. Tree length must be 7 feet or less. Trees that cannot be trimmed to the required size may be taken to the county-owned Seminole Road Landfill or collected by the Sanitation Division’s special collection unit (fees may apply).

All trees will be recycled and converted to mulch.
