For Those Who Are Able To Transport Their Own Tree, Chatham County Offers Free Christmas Tree Recycling Starting on 12/30/2024 7:00 AM - 3:30 PM Through January 17, 2025


Solid Waste & Recycling is offering free Christmas tree recycling at the Main Facility from Monday, December 30 through Friday, January 17. Trees can be accepted Monday through Friday from 7:00 am to 3:30 pm at 28 County Services Road, Pittsboro. Please note: the office will be closed on Wednesday, January 1 for New Year’s Day.


Only real trees can be accepted. All decorations, lights, stands, and pots must be removed. Natural wreaths can be accepted as well if they are removed from the wire. After these dates, we will accept trees for the regular yard debris charge of $20 per ton, with a $2 minimum.


Artificial trees can be placed in the scrap metal recycling bin, but all decorations and lights must be removed. Pre-lit trees cannot be recycled, so throw those in with the regular trash.
