Christmas Tree Recycling in Clark County

hey! sharing is caring :)

What goes up, must come down. I like to get my Christmas tree up as early as possible, and keep it up as long as possible, but, yes, eventually it is time to undecorate the tree and let it go.

Here are some options for recycling that tree. First, make sure all lights, tinsel, wire, ornaments and other non-tree materials are removed.


The Boy Scouts of America will collect trees for recycling in many areas of Battle Ground, Camas, Vancouver, and Washougal. Beginning at 8 a.m. Saturday, January 6, 2018, scouts will pick up trees left in front of homes. The service is free, but donations are gratefully accepted. Suggested donation is $7. Scouting units will distribute door hangers with contact information in their designated areas.

Waste Connections will also pick up trees with yard debris collection or regular garbage service. Trees taller than 5 feet must be cut into sections no longer than 5 feet, regardless of whether they will be collected with yard debris or garbage. Flocked and artificial trees must be put in the garbage; they cannot be recycled with yard debris.

To recycle trees, yard debris customers can place small trees in their yard debris cart at no extra charge; place a single tree in sections of 5 feet or less next to an empty yard debris cart at no extra charge; or place a single tree in sections of 5 feet or less next to a full yard debris cart for an additional pick-up charge.

Customers without yard debris service can put cut trees next to their garbage containers and pay for an extra 32-gallon collection. Trees collected with garbage will be sent to the landfill.

“We encourage people to recycle their Christmas trees if possible,” said Kim Harless, a Solid Waste Operations Specialist. “Recycling keeps those natural resources from being lost to the landfill, and the trees will be reused as mulch or fuel.”

For $5 or less, residents also can recycle Christmas trees of any size at the following businesses:
