YORK COUNTY — York County’s free Christmas tree curbside collection program begins Monday, Jan. 9 and continues through Friday, Jan. 13.
According to the county, residents should place their tree at the roadside by 7 a.m. on Monday, Jan. 9, for collection during the week.
The program is available to all county communities, including those that do not subscribe to the county’s curbside collection programs.
To provide service to those communities not on a curbside collection program, the county requires:
- Approval from your Homeowners Association or community management group
- A designated drop-off site within your community where residents can bring their trees in a location with access to the large knuckle boom truck used for collections.
In addition to curbside collection, all York County residents, including non-subscribers, may deliver their Christmas trees to the VPPSA Compost Facility, 145 Goodwin Neck Road, Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Whether using curbside collection or drop-off:
- trees must not be placed in tree bags
- all lights, tinsel, and ornaments must be removed
- trees must be placed without a tree stand
- trees larger than 6 feet should be cut in half
