Carry Your Dead Christmas Tree to Curb

Disposing of your dried-out Christmas tree in Bristol and Warren is as simple as putting it on the curb outside your house on your normal trash-collection day.

You must strip the tree of all ornaments, lights and garland. And do not wrap the tree in a bag.

Warren begins its tree collection program on Monday. Bristol begins its tree collection program next Thursday, Jan. 2.

“We’ll do it for a couple of weeks,” said John Massed, Warren’s public works director.

Bristol will pick up trees through Jan. 20, according to a composting official.

Warren plans to pick up and chip the trees at the DPW facility or right outside your house. Bristol will cart the trees to the Central Landfill in Johnston for chipping into compost there.
