Baltimore County Christmas Tree pickup 2025 is the over a two week period, beginning the week of January 9, 2025.

Christmas trees in Baltimore County must be placed by the curb or in the alley (if that is your normal trash location) by January 22 in order to ensure pickup.

The trees must be completely free of lights and decorations, including any tinsel. Also, they CANNOT be in tree bags — many people use those to prevent needles from falling onto the floor or around the yard when taking their trees down, but they must be removed from these bags before being put out for pick up.

Also, according to the Baltimore County Government website, Residents should place trees out for pickup at the same location where they would normally put trash and recycling for collection. So yes, Rodgers Forge residents should out their trees in the alley for pickup! Here are more details from the Baltimore County Department of Public Works and Transportation’s facebook page post about the tree pickup.

Please note that Baltimore County also offers a tree drop off at three places in order to have it recycled & made into mulch. Should you want your tree removed prior to the pick up week, you may drop off your tree beginning December 28, 2024.

The three locations for Christmas tree drop off are: Baltimore County Resource Recovery Facility off Warren Road in Cockeysville, Eastern Sanitary Landfill Solid Waste Management Facility in White Marsh off Pulaski Highway, and the Acceptance Facility in Halethorpe.

If you have questions or concerns, please call the Baltimore County Bureau of Solid Waste Management at 410-887-2000.

Please note that the above information is only for Baltimore County Christmas Tree removal.
