2. Cut the tree into four feet or shorter lengths.

3. Place the tree in your yard trimmings cart (tree must fit inside the cart with the lid closed), or beside your yard trimmings cart at the curbside.

What About Gift Wrap Recycling?

 

• Consider saving it to reuse.

• Or collect gift wrap in a brown paper bag. On garbage collection day, place paper bag in your garbage container.  At the SMaRT Station®, the operator will sort the bags to separate recyclable gift wrapping paper.
