City's Winter Clean-Up Initiative Offers Gratis Collection of Old Christmas Trees
Christmas Tree Collection: Your District's Guide
Need to get rid of your festive pine? Good news! The city cleaning service will be picking up Christmas trees in January, free of charge, from private households. But, here's a heads up: each district has its own collection date in the second and third weeks of the new year.
Now, let's talk the nitty-gritty. To ensure a smooth collection process, ensure your decorated tree is placed on the street without causing any traffic hazard or obstruction. The tree mustn't be longer than 2.50 meters and, bye-bye to those wooden tree stands! Wreaths, unfortunately, will not be collected as they often contain materials like wire, styrofoam, or other plastics. They should be thrown away in your black residual waste bin.
Wondering when your district's collection day is? Here's a lowdown on the collection dates for popular city districts like Cranz, Eißendorf, Francop, and more:

Psst... Generally, Christmas trees are collected in January across cities in Germany, but districts may set their own collection dates. Always double-check with the official schedule for your area. Ciao, coniferous friends! 😎🌲🔜
Other districts like Gut Moor and Langenbek follow the same collection schedule as Francop, with their home-and-garden waste being collected on the 9th and 16th of January. Residents of districts such as Neuenfelde and Sinstorf should check their black residual waste bin for wreaths that cannot be included in the Christmas tree collection, as they may contain materials like wire, styrofoam, or other plastics.
