Undecking the Halls: How to Dispose of the Christmas Tree

The presents have all been unwrapped, the in-laws have made their way home (unless they're still waiting on a flight!) and it's time to repack all the decorations and put them in storage for another year.

Now what to do with the tree? Within Bowie, residents can put their tree on the curb with your yardwaste on any Wednesday in January and the city will pick it up. All lights and decorations must be removed from the tree for pickup.

Those living outside the city limits but still in Prince George's County should have their trees on the curb, decorations and lights removed, by 6:30 a.m. on their regularly scheduled trash collection day.
