If you find yourself with a Christmas tree, wreath, or garland that you need to rid yourself of in 2017, you can set the aforementioned out with your Seattle Public Utilities yard waste collection through the end of January.

Here are the details from SPU:

From 12/26/16 – 1/31/17, holiday trees, wreaths, and greens can be composted for free. Place on the curb next to your food and yard waste cart on your regular collection day.

  • Trees must be trimmed to 6-feet or shorter
  • Trim branches to less than 4-feet to fit into the collection trucks
  • Bundle each section with string or twine (not plastic or nylon)
  • Remove any metal, lights, ornaments, or other decorative objects

Flocked and plastic trees or wreaths aren’t recyclable and will be charged as extra garbage.

At apartments

One tree may be placed next to each food and yard waste cart at no extra charge each collection day.
