Holiday Tree Recycling Program

Free Holiday Tree Recycling

Each year following the winter holidays IVGID sets up a a drop-off area for Christmas trees recycling. Trees are chipped by North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection District for local erosion control projects. There is typically a curbside tree collection week in January as well.

Curbside Tree Collection Program

Waste Management will collect clean trees for recycling curbside on your normal trash service day, for free, only during the specified week. Trees must be cut down into segments no longer than three (3) feet each. Trees must be clean of all decorations, nails and tree stands. Curbside collection is only available to Incline Village and Crystal Bay residents. Trees placed curbside any other time are considered excess trash and will be subject to extra charges/violation.

Drop-Off Program

The location for the holiday tree drop-off is the Overflow Parking lot across from Incline Beach. Trees can be any size, but must be clean of all decorations, nails and tree stands.
