Here's Where And When You Can Dispose Of Your Christmas Tree Now That The Holiday Is Over

BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- Now that Christmas has come and gone, it's time for the trees to come down and the decorations to be put away.

For those who chose a real tree this year, a number of municipalities are offering curbside tree pickup in the coming weeks.

Before tossing the tree, make sure all lights, ornaments and tinsel have been removed.

Anne Arundel County: Trees will be picked up on residents' normal recycling days and need to be at the curb by 6 a.m. that day. Residents can also take their trees to a county recycling center.
