SNOHOMISH COUNTY, Wash., January 2, 2022—It is that time again for Christmas trees to be collected from curbside in January. After the tree is collected, typically it is chipped and made into a mulch. To include your tree collection service, post it in comments to be added to the list.
Be sure to remove ALL lights, wire, tinsel, ornaments, nails, stands, other NON-Organic decorative materials and other materials that are not part of the original tree. Don’t forget to remove tree stands as well!
Check out the website Earth911 to find out how to recycle other holiday items like tree lights.
Flocked trees are usually NOT accepted – see picture below – as this may damage the chipper. Check with the tree collector for detail instructions and restrictions as these will vary.

MARYSVILLE
The holiday season is a time of good cheer and presents, but all that gift-giving can generate an excess of cardboard boxes and Styrofoam. The City of Marysville is hosting a free post-holiday recycling collection from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 7, in the old City Hall parking lot, 1049 State Ave.
Marysville Sunrise Rotary and other community partners will help Marysville residents recycle unwanted cardboard, Styrofoam, foam peanuts and other packaging materials. That’s not all. Bring your natural Christmas tree for ‘tree-cycling’ into wood chips to spread in city parks and trails. Finally, 3R Technology will accept e-waste for recycling.
The event is free, with donations gratefully accepted for the Marysville Community Food Bank.
What you can bring:
• Clean Styrofoam (clean, dry, free of tape)
• Packing peanuts (in bags or boxes)
• Cardboard (please flatten boxes before arrival)
• Clear bubble wrap
• Clear plastic wrapping (clean and dry material only)
• Real bare Christmas trees (remove lights, wire, tinsel and ornaments)
• Flat screen TVs
• Computers, monitors, keyboards and mice
Thank you to these event partners: Marysville Sunrise Rotary, Waste Management, 3R Technology, Creation Caretakers of Marysville United Methodist Church. Everett Community College’s Students for Environmental Action, local Boy Scout and Girl Scout troops, and Marysville Community Food Bank.
