​Christmas Tree Drop-off Sites, Real Trees Only

Important Reminder:
Remove all tinsel, lights, ornaments, or any other foreign material from the tree before recycling it.  
​

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" of metal, plastic or any non-tree matter. 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

Metal Christmas Trees and Wreaths can be recycled at the CVSWMD ARCC.
Plastic ones can be disposed of at a transfer station.
