Dallas
- Drop-off runs for a few weeks after Christmas. Last season it was December 26, 2025, to January 24, 2026
- Take trees to McCommas Bluff Landfill (5100 Youngblood Rd.) or a city transfer station, such as Northwest (Bachman) at 9500 Harry Hines Blvd.
- Transfer stations take one tree per household; bring more than one to the landfill
- Remove all decorations, tinsel and lights, and don't bag or wrap the tree
Fort Worth
- Set real trees, including flocked ones, out with your weekly yard waste
- Or take them to a city drop-off station with proof of a Fort Worth address
- Remove lights, decorations and the stand first. Decorated trees at drop-off stations go in the trash instead of being recycled
- Artificial trees go out with monthly bulk collection
Other DFW cities
Most cities run their own program with curbside pickup, park drop-offs or landfill drop-off, often only into early or mid January. Plano, Arlington, Irving and Grand Prairie all run short drop-off windows. Check your city's sanitation page for this year's dates.
