Christmas Tree Drop Off and Recycling
Roseville, Calif.- Roseville and Rocklin Christmas tree recycling, drop-off dates and locations have been updated for the 2025-26 holiday season. The Boy Scouts WILL NOT be picking up Christmas trees this year.
Roseville and Rocklin both offer convenient drop off locations throughout their respective cities.
Roseville
There are three easy ways to recycle your tree.
GREEN WASTE BIN
Place unflocked trees in your green waste bin. Remove all branches and cut the trunk into sizes small enough to fit within the bin. Make sure the tree fits completely within the bin with the lid closed. This is the most cost effective disposal solution which reduces city costs and helps keep your utility rates low.
Drop Off Sites Take unflocked trees to one of the City’s Christmas tree drop-off sites. Be sure to remove all tree stands, lights and ornaments before dropping off the tree.
