Mayor Moe and the Department of Public Works is pleased to announce that the City of Laurel will be collecting live Christmas trees for an extra week!  We will have a collection next week on Wednesday the 25th and also a collection on Wednesday the 1st of February.  While you are not required to contact the City to request a tree pickup, doing so is strongly encouraged to ensure your tree is not missed.  Please reach out to us by phone (301-725-0088) or by email ([email protected]) to add your address to our Christmas tree collection list!

To prepare your tree for pickup please do the following:

• Remove all decorations, lights, wires, tree skirts, stands and nails
• Do not use plastic snow or spray-on fake snow on your tree.  Trees with fake snow cannot be collected for recycling and will require a Bulky Item pickup to be scheduled.
• Do not put the tree in a plastic tree bag.  You may set the tree out on top of a plastic tarp or an old sheet or blanket.  If you do use a plastic tarp or sheet it will not be collected with the tree. 
• Place the tree at the curb by 7 AM Wednesday morning for pickup (we recommend putting it out Tuesday evening). 
• Trees inside of plastic bags will not be accepted.
