If you miss the tree pick-up day, cut up your tree and place it in your organics (yard waste) container.
Artificial trees and trees with flocking (fake snow) or fire retardants are NOT recyclable and will be treated as trash. If you need to dispose these items, schedule a Bulky Item Pick-up by visiting AthensServices.com/Bulky.
