FLAGSTAFF — The city of Flagstaff has started a Treecyling program to address the issue of Christmas trees sent to the landfill. Residents with curbside trash service can place their tree curbside by 6 a.m. on Jan. 6. The city’s Solid Waste Section will pick up trees throughout the city through Jan. 10. All tinsel, lights and ornaments need to be removed before the tree is placed on the curb.
Residents living in multifamily housing can also participate by bringing their trees to one of the following locations until Jan. 18:
- Old Public Works Yard: 419 N. Mogollon St.
- Continental Little League Field: 5700 E. Old Walnut Canyon Rd.
The Treecycling program extends the short lifespan of fresh-cut trees. They are chipped for mulch and other beneficial uses at the landfill.
Residents can also sign up for a collection reminder by visiting www.recyclebycity.com/flagstaff/schedule. If you have any questions about the program, please contact Emily Shaffer at 928-213-2151 or emily.shaffer@flagstaffaz.gov.
