Christmas tree recycling pickup begins Jan. 3 in BG

For locations served by Bowling Green city refuse and recycling collection, Christmas trees will be collected through a special one week collection.

This year’s collection will begin on Monday, Jan. 3. Collection is not connected to your regular refuse/recycling schedule.

Please follow the guidelines below:

  • Trees should be placed curbside by 7 a.m. on Jan. 3.
  • All decorations, lights and tree stands should be removed.
  • Trees should not be left in bags.

Once crews complete a street, they will not return.

Christmas trees are recycled into wood chips, which are available for resident use.
