PHOENIX – Now that Santa has made his rounds and all the gifts have been unwrapped, it’s time to think about how to dispose of those live Christmas trees.
Fortunately, many cities across metro Phoenix offer their communities a variety of free disposal methods.
Residents should check with their local garbage services to find out if they can leave their Christmas trees out during bulk trash pickups.
In addition, many cities operate drop-off locations that residents can use if pickup options are unavailable or inconvenient.
Trees should be stripped of all lights and decorations and left unbagged when left for pickup or taken to a designated drop-off location.
