Christmas tree recycling pickup in BG begins Jan. 4

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. 4. 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 Monday, Jan. 4.
  • Remove all decorations, lights and tree stands.
  • Trees should not be left in bags.

Once crews complete a street, they will not return.

Christmas trees are taken to the Yard Waste Recycling Facility operated by Wood County and ground into mulch in the spring.
