Christmas Tree Disposal Available Until Jan. 31

St. Mary’s County residents may drop off undecorated Christmas trees at the St. Mary’s Landfill and convenience centers, free of charge, through January 31, 2026.

Trees must be undecorated and placed in the designated areas at these sites. Last year, the county collected nearly two tons of Christmas trees, which were mixed with collected yard waste and ground into mulch.

More than 5,000 tons of mulch is available annually at the landfill site and is provided to the citizens of St. Mary’s County free of charge, while supplies last.
