Bangor residents are encouraged to drop off Christmas trees at Bangor Public Works, 530 Maine Avenue. Drop off hours are hours Monday through Sunday during daylight. Please remember to remove all wire and or metal objects from your tree. 

Residents without transportation may place their tree curbside. Curbside collection begins on Friday, January 2nd and will end on Friday, January 16th, 2015.

As part of the city's commitment to recycle the trees will be chipped, with some of those chips being designated as a mulch and erosion control throughout Bangor. The remainder will be sold as bio mass.

Wreaths will not be collected for chipping either at Public Works compound, or curbside. Discarded wreaths are to be placed curbside with residential trash on the scheduled collection day. For information please call (207) 992-4500.
