The County Public Works Department and Town of Friday Harbor are sponsoring a free Christmas Tree collection program this year. Trees will be chipped for mulch and not sent to a landfill. Help us reduce the volume of holiday trash by bringing your CLEAN, UNDECORATED natural trees (no flocked or artificial trees) to your island’s solid waste facility between December 27 and January 10 during regular open hours. Last year’s chipping program diverted approximately 3 tons of Christmas trees from the landfill.

If you have any questions, please call San Juan County Public Works Department at 370-0503.
