MANASSAS, Va. – Northern Virginia Electric Cooperative (NOVEC) invites area residents to recycle their post-holiday Christmas trees and greenery at its Gainesville Technical Center at 5399 Wellington Branch Road, located near Interstate 66 and U.S. 29.
Residents can leave trees and greens Friday, Dec. 26 through Monday, Jan. 12, 2026. Residents should leave greens in the section of the parking lot marked by orange safety cones; drop off does not have to take place during business hours.
Remove all decorations, ornament hooks, wires, and light strings.
NOVEC’s Vegetation Management employees will turn the trees, wreaths, and garland into mulch to reduce holiday landfill waste.
“Recycling holiday greens is just another way we help area residents and the environment,” said Rick Carpenter, NOVEC vegetation management manager.
For more information about recycling holiday greens, contact NOVEC’s Vegetation Management department at 703-335-0500, ext. 1600, or by email at VegetationMgmt@novec.com.
