Recology will collect unflocked, undecorated, natural trees in lengths up to 4 feet.   

Flocked trees are not accepted with food/yard waste collection because flocking contains non-compostable materials including adhesives, flame retardants, or additives.  Flocked trees may be disposed as garbage for an additional fee. 

Customers who subscribe to food/yard waste collection service may place trees out for collection on their regularly scheduled food/yard waste collection day. 

Residential customers who do not subscribe to food/yard waste service may schedule collection of properly prepared trees during the first two full weeks in January at no additional charge. To schedule, contact Customer Service at 206.763.4444 or at Shoreline@Recology.com by Friday, December 30th.
