Christmas Tree and Holiday Greeting Card Recycling

Holiday Greeting Cards
Christmas Trees
Christmas trees can be recycled instead of
being placed at the curbside and sent to the landfill. Every
year, Glen Oaks County Golf Course has a drop-off in the clubhouse
parking lot at 30500 West Thirteen Mile Road, just east of Orchard
Lake Road. Trees are accepted from 9:00 AM until 4:00 PM,
seven days a week, December 26 through the second Saturday in
January. There is no charge to participate. Recycled
Christmas trees will be turned into compost, so please remove all
decorations, lights, tinsel, and/or ornaments before taking them
to the drop-off site and do not place them in plastic bags.
For more information, call Oakland County Parks at (248) 858-0906
or visit Oakland
County's website.
Holiday Greeting Cards
Due to changes in the City’s Curbside
Recycling Guidelines, residents can now toss their holiday
greeting cards loosely in their green recycling bin or place them
with newspapers in a brown paper bag. Holiday cards are
accepted as part of the mixed office paper category which includes
junk mail, office paper, loose leaf paper, manila folders, and
even paperback books.
All types of greeting cards can go in the
bin, including old birthday and anniversary cards. Please do
not include cards with glitter or metallic paper; these can’t be
recycled and should be discarded with the regular trash.
