[RP TownTalk] Trees

[Sarah Wayland]

LARGO, MD – The Prince George’s County Department of Environmental
Resources’ (DER) Waste Management Division is encouraging all County
residents to go green this holiday season by recycling their live Christmas
trees instead of throwing it in the trash.  December 28, 2015
through January 29, 2016, all County residents will have the opportunity to
recycle their undecorated Christmas trees, free of charge, through their
yard waste collection or at one of two designated drop-off locations.  Once
collected, the trees will be shredded and cured to produce mulch for DER’s
annual spring Mulch Giveaway.

To participate, residents with County-provided yard waste collection should
place their live Christmas trees at the curb before 6:30 a.m. on their
regularly scheduled yard waste collection day.  Trees must be free of all
lights, ornaments and tinsel, and must be removed from plastics bags before
placing at the curb for collection.

Residents may also bring their tree, free of charge, to the Prince George’s
County Yard Waste Composting Facility located at 6601 Southeast Crain
Highway in Upper Marlboro, Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30
p.m. or to the Brown Station Road Public Convenience Center located at 3501
Brown Station Road in Upper Marlboro, Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m.
to 6 p.m.
