Christmas Trees – Real or Fresh

UpdatedJuly 25, 2025

The annual Scouts Christmas Tree Pick-Up and Recycling Day comes to Napa on the first Saturday following New Year’s Day.

Please have your tree on the curb by 9:00am on Saturday morning. Please DO NOT set out your tree earlier in the week, since tree collection will not take place until Saturday.

  • Trees must be free of ornaments, nails, tinsel, stands and metal spikes. All are contaminants or safety hazards.
  • A voluntary donation of $10-15 per tree is suggested and appreciated. Please do not leave money on the tree!
  • Scouts will come to your door. Please leave a check made out to “Boy Scouts of America” in an envelope at your door.
Customers who miss the Scouts tree pick-up may place their tree out for collection on their normal service day beginning the following Monday. Please follow the above tree preparation guidelines and cut trees over 8′ in half. Flocked trees are not accepted and need to be disposed of as trash. Wreaths, pumpkins, and other holiday greenery go in the compost cart.

At our Napa Recycling and Composting Facility, we turn all your holiday greenery into compost, mulch or fuel for renewable energy.
