Why buy a real tree?Kitsap County is one of the top Christmas tree-producing counties in Washington. Local trees support our local economy. Unlike PVC plastic trees, real trees can be grown, enjoyed, and recycled right here in Kitsap.Can I bring Christmas trees to county disposal facilities?You can recycle (weekends only) or dispose of unflocked trees at Olympic View Transfer Station for the minimum fee. Trees are not recycled at the Recycling and Garbage Facilities in Hansville, Silverdale, or Olalla, but they are accepted as garbage (one or two can equivalent, depending on size). Will my garbage hauler pick up my tree?If you subscribe to curbside compost service, simply remove all decorations and cut your unflocked tree until it fits into your cart. If you don't have curbside compost service, you can cut your tree into pieces and add small pieces to your garbage weekly until it's gone. Trees left at the curb (outside a cart) will be charged as extra garbage and will not be recycled.What happens to the trees that are collected?Trees are chipped down to mulch or compost and used in gardens and landscapes. Why can't I recycle flocked trees everywhere?It can be difficult to tell what flocking material is actually made from. Most tree recyclers do not want to risk adding harmful chemicals to their soil and mulch products. If you cannot recycle your tree, take it to a disposal facility or cut the flocked tree into pieces and add small pieces to your garbage weekly until it's gone.Information does not constitute an endorsement of any kind from Kitsap County.
