Where to dispose of a Christmas tree near Eden Prairie

  1. 1

    City curbside collection window (free, January)

    Most Hennepin + Ramsey cities run a free Christmas-tree pickup for ~2 weeks in early-to-mid January. Trees must be at the curb on collection day, free of all decorations + stand.

  2. 2

    County compost site (free, year-round)

    Hennepin County operates 3 compost drop-off sites; Ramsey has 4. All accept Christmas trees free for residents. Late trees go here.

  3. 3

    Flocked or artificial trees

    Flocked (sprayed white-snow effect) trees cannot be composted — paint binds organics. They go to bulk trash. Artificial trees: donate if usable; trash if broken.
