DURHAM -- The city Department of Solid Waste Management will collect Christmas trees from all Solid Waste customers from Jan. 4-29.
Trees should be placed at the curb by 7 a.m. on residents' normal household garbage collection day. Residents are asked to leave the tree at the curb for one week before contacting Durham One Call at (919) 560-1200 to report a missed tree collection.
Trees taller than six feet should be cut in half. Residents should also remove all decorations, including tinsel, lights, garland, and ornaments, as well as stands, nails, and other hardware. Residents are also asked to not place trees in bags.
Christmas trees may be dropped off at the Waste Disposal Recycling Center at 2115 E. Club Blvd., Mondays through Fridays, 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturdays, 7:30 a.m. to 12 p.m., at no charge until January 29. Trees delivered after that date will be subject to the usual disposal fees.
