Special leaf and Christmas tree recycling collections will return this winter with a few changes. Community Waste Disposal (CWD), Colleyville’s trash and recycling provider, will run special collection routes to recycle bagged leaves starting in November. This year’s program will be expanded to six collections days, up from four days last year. The special collection days are Saturday, Nov. 13, Nov. 20, Dec. 4, Dec. 11, Dec. 18, and Jan 8 with collections beginning at 8:00 a.m. CWD will also collect and recycle Christmas trees on the January special collection day. Residents are asked to not enclose the tree in a plastic sack or bag and to remove all tinsel, stands and tree decorations.

To participate, residents just need to set out leaves on the designated collection days. This year, CWD will recycle leaves in any bag; either paper lawn craft bag or plastic bag. If leaf bags are set out prior to the Saturday collections, residents are asked to place leaf bags separately from household trash. Regular read-load garbage trucks will be used for these special collection days. With that in mind, residents should be aware of and comply with their Homeowner Association’s policies.
