Christmas Tree and Holiday Greeting Card Recycling

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.

In previous years, the City has accepted cards for donation to the Keith Bovenschen School in Warren, which serves developmentally disabled children and young adults.  This year, however, the school is no longer accepting donated cards.
