As the new year begins, Union County residents dealing with post-holiday clutter have options for easy disposal. Union County Solid Waste is offering services to help manage excess holiday waste, easing the cleanup process and making disposal more convenient, as stated on the county's website.
Union County is making post-holiday cleanup simple for residents. Extra cardboard boxes can be recycled at no cost by taking them to the Union County Landfill or any residential convenience site. Through the county’s “Trash Pass” program, residents can also dispose of limited amounts of household garbage easily—and for free.
Union County Solid Waste is also guiding residents on what to do with their holiday trees. Live Christmas trees—up to two per household—can be recycled for free through composting at the Union County Landfill. To ensure proper processing, all decorations and tinsel must be removed before drop-off. This service is available until January 31, according to the county’s recent announcement.
Proper recycling and composting after the holiday season is more important than ever, says Union County Solid Waste, as these practices help reduce landfill use. Residents transporting trees, wrapping paper, or other holiday waste are encouraged to cover their loads to keep the community clean. Full details on hours, locations, and disposal policies are available on the county’s Waste and Recycling pages.
