Disposing of Your Christmas Tree

If you have a chipper/shredder, your Christmas tree can become a part of your compost pile.  If not, you will need to dispose of your Christmas tree appropriately.  All yard waste, including real Christmas trees, is banned from North Carolina landfills.  To facilitate disposal, the Onslow County Solid Waste Department is accepting real Christmas trees (lights and ornaments removed) at the following sites:

·      Folkstone Convenience Center Site at 320 Old Folkstone Rd, Holly Ridge (Sneads Ferry area just down the street from the Food Lion).  Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday from 8am - 5:30pm ($1.00 per tree).

·      Swansboro Convenience Center Site at 698 Swansboro Loop Rd, Swansboro.  Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday from 8am - 5:30pm ($1.00 per tree).

·      Onslow County Landfill (Tree and Wood Pallet Recycle Area) $49.00 per ton.  Monday-Saturday from 6:30am – 5pm.
