From YouTube: 2016 Christmas Tree Recycling Program

Description

The holiday season is wrapping up, but that means Arlington County is just beginning its Christmas tree collection and recycling program, a fast, simple, and environmentally friendly way to get rid of your family's Christmas tree. During the first two weeks of January, Arlington County trucks will come by on your regular trash collection day to pick up your tree. Simply remove all ornaments, lights and decorations. Take the tree out of the stand, and bring it to your curb by 6:00 a.m. on your regular collection day. Do NOT put the tree in a plastic bag. If you're not a curbside collection customer, you can bring your tree to the Solid Waste Bureau. Call 703 228 6570 to schedule an appointment.

Each year we collect more than 9000 Christmas trees and grind them into mulch which we recycle back to you for use in your garden. You can get more information at the following online sources:
