Christmas Trees
- Licensed collectors are required by Code to collect and recycle real Christmas trees of less than 8 feet that have been set out separately at single family and townhouse communities for the first two weeks in January. Contact your collection company regarding their service.
- Consider donating artificial trees in good condition to charitable organizations.
- Fairfax County residents can drop off their trees at the I-66 Transfer Station or the I-95 Landfill Complex. There is a fee to recycle your tree. All ornaments, decorations (including tinsel) and stands must be removed prior to disposal.
- Tree lights are accepted year-round at the electronic drop-off locations at these disposal sites.
- Disposing of live Christmas trees, as well as other trash and yard waste, in Fairfax County parks is illegal and harmful to our environment.
