Is your Christmas tree telling you the holidays are over?

St. Paul residents participating in the city’s garbage program can have their tree hauled away at no additional cost Jan. 2-15.

All trees must have the decorations and stands removed and must be no more than 6 feet tall and 20 pounds.

No artificial trees are allowed. Real trees that have been flocked are acceptable.

If you're taking down your live tree, bring it to a county yard waste site for FREE disposal! #ramseyrecycles Locations that accept trees are:

• Arden Hills

• Frank and Sims

• Midway

• White Bear Township#ramseyrecycles https://t.co/mOVOcF8TTW pic.twitter.com/i6ZmJuZPLl — RamseyCounty (@RamseyCounty) December 30, 2018

On collection day, residents are asked to lay the tree next to the garbage cart — not upright in the snow or obstructing or leaning on the carts. There is no need to call the trash hauler to schedule a special pick-up during those two weeks.

Residents can dispose of one tree per household or one tree per unit in multi-unit properties.

Additional Christmas trees, artificial trees or larger trees can be collected as a “bulky item,” but residents must make arrangement with the hauler for a special collection.

Residents may also compost holiday trees for free by bringing them to a Ramsey County yard waste site. Find a location at www.ramseycounty.us/residents/recycling-waste/collection-sites/yard-waste.
