Healdsburg Christmas Tree Recycling 2013/2014: How to Get Rid of Your Tree

Girl Scout Troop 389: $7 ($10 for trees taller than six feet)

The Healdsburg-based Girl Scout troop continues its tradition of Christmas tree recycling. Organizers ask you call 707-322-3053 or e-mail teresaramirez@yahoo.com with your name, phone number, address and preferred pickup date. Scouts will be collecting trees from curbsides on Dec. 28-29, Jan. 4-5, and Jan. 11-12.

Trees must be at the curb by 9 a.m. on the day of pickup, and checks should be made out to GSNC and left under the doormat if you won't be home.

Flocked or tinseled trees aren't allowed.

Cut the tree to fit in your green waste bin or have it picked up (free)

Healdsburg residents can dispose of Christmas trees on any date by cutting them to four-foot sections and placing them in their regular green waste bins for collection. Trees shouldn't be sticking out of the bins, according to the Sonoma County Waste Management Agency. 

Healdsburg residents can also place the full tree at their curb near the waste bins for pickup on their regular collection day between Dec. 30 and Jan. 10. 

Drop off the tree at a city facility (free)

If you don't mind hauling your tree one more time, you can take it to the Healdsburg Corporation Yard, 550 Westside Road, for free disposal. Residents can dump up to two trees per day from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. from Dec. 26 to Jan. 15.
