How to Get Rid of Your Christmas Tree in Denver (Fast & Eco-Friendly)
Written by your neighbors at Junk Same Day — serving Denver Metro with same-day pickups and strong coffee since 2020.
🎄 Step 1: Take Off the Sparkle (No Tinsel Allowed)
Denver recyclers get cranky when trees show up covered in lights, tinsel, or fake snow. Strip it down like it’s going through TSA — bare branches only. If you’re wondering what to do with busted lights, Denver Recycles takes them during the holiday drop-off season.
♻️ Step 2: Decide — DIY Drop-Off or Same-Day Pickup?
You’ve got two good options:
- DIY Drop-Off: Haul it to a Denver Recycles Treecycle site between Dec 31 – Jan 31 and they’ll turn it into mulch for city parks.
- Call Junk Same Day: Book a Christmas Tree Disposal in Denver pickup and we’ll grab it curbside — no pine needles in your Subaru.
🌲 Step 3: What About Fake Trees?
Artificial trees can’t be mulched, but we’ll haul them too. We donate usable trees to local shelters or recycle the metal frame. Just note “fake tree” when you book online so we send the right truck.
💡 Bonus Tip: Recycle Other Holiday Stuff Too
While we’re at it, we can take leftover boxes, wrapping paper tubes, and that inflatable snowman that gave up in 2023. It’s all part of our Holiday Cleanouts Colorado program.
“We’ve hauled everything from seven-foot trees to a six-foot Santa. Denver, keep the cocoa coming — we’ve got the pickup covered.”
