Now that Christmas is over, you need to dispose of your Christmas tree. When you have an item, it’s easy to put it back in the box. If it were real, it will take a little more effort.
Once you have a real tree, there are several ways you can get rid of your tree. Many cities in western New York bring your tree with them on their regular trash day.
In Buffalo, the Christmas tree is picked up during the first full week of January on the residents’ scheduled garbage day. The city’s building authority asks you not to put the tree in a bag, but simply to leave it next to your rubbish bins.
Here is the Christmas tree pickup schedule in other cities in western New York:
Amherst – collects discarded trees from the roadside in the first 2 weeks of January
Cheektowaga – collects discarded trees from the curb in the first 2 weeks of January
Niagara Falls – Trees are picked up with normal rubbish throughout January.
North Tonwanda – collects discarded trees at the roadside in the first 2 weeks of January with regular garbage disposal.
City of Tonwanda – Tree collection on regular garbage collection days. Trees are intended for recycling.
West Seneca – collects discarded trees from the roadside in the first 2 weeks of January
Lancaster – collects discarded trees from the roadside in the first 2 weeks of January
If you don’t want to leave your tree by the side of the road, the City of Buffalo has three drop off points in January.
Cazenovia Park, golf course parking lot, south of Seneca Street, at the base of Wildwood
Shoshone Park, car park, north of Hertel, at the foot of the Beard
1120 Seneca Street, Back Parking Lot, Between Babcock and Smith
