Christmas Tree Mulching, Collections

DPW is offering free Christmas tree mulching services to Baltimore City residents now through Saturday, Feb. 3, 2024. Residents must bring their trees to the Northwest Residential Drop-off Center, located at 2840 Sisson Street, from 9:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday.

Before mulching, please ensure that all ornaments, tinsel, and other decoration have been removed from your tree. Residents should bring bags or containers to collect mulch for their use.

Instead of mulching, residents can place trees out with their weekly trash collections until Friday, Feb. 9, 2024. The trees must be placed at the same location that your trash is collected. Before placing Christmas trees out for collection, please remove all ornaments, tinsel, and other decoration.

There will be no Christmas tree mulching or collection on New Year’s Day, Monday, Jan. 1, 2024.
