OTTUMWA, IA. -- Ottumwa residents wishing to dispose of live Christmas trees can leave them on the curb for regular Tuesday bulky item collection in the month of January. The trees are recycled into mulch and must be free of tinsel and decorations, and cannot be in a bag.  Trees over six feet in height should be cut in half for collection. 

The Ottumwa / Wapello Recycling Center accepts both corrugated cardboard and paperboard gift boxes for recycling. Please flatten or nest these containers and put them out with your regular recycling collection.  Printed gift-wrapping paper and Styrofoam packing is not acceptable for recycling and should be disposed of with your regular trash.  Remember to set all trash and recycling items on the curb prior to 5:00 a.m. on collection day to ensure pick up.
