Trees will be accepted for recycling during the hours of 8:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m., Monday – Friday, at the landfill location at 3118 Oakland Sang Run Road, Oakland, Maryland.
Christmas tree recycling is available to Garrett County residents free of charge and a residential disposal permit is not required to participate in this program or any other recycling program in Garrett County.
Christmas trees may also be recycled at home by placing cut branches and needles under trees and shrubs as a temporary winter mulch — or by chopping them up and adding them to your compost pile.
Note, all tinsel, garland, and ornaments should be removed before recycling Christmas trees.
A refuse permit is not required to recycle at any of the seven refuse & recycling sites, including the landfill. Additionally, Garrett County businesses are encouraged to recycle and use the refuse & recycling sites for the recyclable materials collected.
If you have any questions, please contact the office at 301 334 7492 or email the recycling coordinator, Kimberly Madigan at kmadigan@garrettcounty.org.
