With the holidays coming to a close, it's almost time to dispose of your Christmas tree. Residents wishing to dispose of organic Christmas trees can do through Emerald Coast Utilities Authority or City of Pensacola Sanitation collections.
ECUA makes the Christmas tree collection easy and safe. When it's time to take down the decorations, place your real tree (free of decorations, tinsel and tree stands) or wreaths out by the curb on your usual collection day for pick-up as part of your regular yard waste collection. ECUA will compost the trees with other yard waste at their Biosolids Composting Facility.
City of Pensacola Sanitation customers can remove all ornaments and decorations from live Christmas trees and place them curbside to be collected on their regular yard waste pickup day.
As a reminder, the City of Pensacola Sanitation collection schedule will be delayed by one day the week of and Jan. 1 due to the New Year's Day holiday. Click here for details.
