Disposing of This Year's Christmas Tree? Wait 'til Next Year
Annual Boy Scouts Christmas Tree Recycling is Jan. 5, waste management will pick up after that.
The annual Napa Valley District Boy Scouts Christmas Tree Pickup and Recycling Day comes to Napa on the first Saturday in January. This year that's Jan. 5, 2013.
Napa Recycling reminds you to have your tree on the curb by 9:00 a.m. on Saturday morning. Please do not set out your tree earlier in the week, as tree collection will not take place until Saturday.

Trees must be free of ornaments, nails, tinsel, stands, and metal spikes. All are contaminants or safety hazards. Old Christmas lights and other materials can be recycled at the Napa Recycling office, 820 Levitin Way in American Canyon. Click here for year-round options.
A voluntary donation of $5 per tree is suggested and appreciated. Boy Scouts will come to your door. Please leave a check made out to "Napa Valley District Boy Scouts" in an envelope at your door.
