Christmas Tree Disposal

DPW offers free Christmas tree mulching services to Baltimore City residents now through Saturday, February 4, 2023. 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.

Please ensure that all ornaments, tinsel, and other decoration have been removed from your tree before mulching. 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. Place the tree where your weekly trash is collected. There will be no Christmas tree mulching or collection on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Monday, January 16.
