​Christmas Tree Drop-off Sites, Real Trees Only

Important Reminder:
Please remove all tinsel, lights, ornaments, and any foreign material from the tree before recycling it.  
​
​Thank you!

Christmas Trees are "Clean Wood"

Picture
Natural Christmas Trees are considered "clean wood" and can go to any clean wood disposal site in the state. Check out our Clean Wood page for more information about what we mean by "clean wood" and where to bring it. 
Clean wood includes brush or trees over 1" in in diameter, and must be "clean" meaning no metal, plastic or any decorations of any kind. Clean wood can be dropped off for a fee to the CV Transfer Station on US-2 in East Montpelier, 802-223-7045.

Artificial Trees and Wreaths

Artificial Christmas Trees and Wreaths can be recycled at the CVSWMD ARCC, or disposed of at a transfer station.

Montpelier

The Montpelier Parks Department is collecting Christmas trees at Country Club Road Site parking lot (former Elks Lodge property). Collected trees will be used for a tree maze and then chipped for mulch for the parks. Free for everyone.
​Please remove all decorations before bringing your tree.

Goats Love Christmas Trees!

Ask your local goat farmer if they'd like your used, clean, Christmas tree. Many of them would love to have the extra material for their goats!
