Tree Limb Recycling
Tree limb and pumpkin recycling are closed for the season.
Residents are encouraged to recycle their tree limbs to reduce landfill use and provide valuable mulch. Limb chipping and free mulch are available for Westminster residents.
Hours
MARCH-NOV: Open on the second Saturday of the month from 8 a.m. to noon. (CLOSED DEC-FEB)
The wait to drop off limbs is always longest at the beginning of the event. To avoid the line, residents are encouraged to arrive later in the morning.
PLEASE NOTE NEW HOURS: Tree limb recycling will be closed beginning Dec. 2024 and reopening March 2025. Emergency tree limb recycling events will be held during closure months in the event of tree-damaging storms. The change in hours of operation is in response to low attendance during winter months and to preserve site conditions during the wet season. The Christmas Tree Recycling program will be unaffected by these changes.
