From the City's Community Affairs Department...

When all of the presents have been opened and the decorations safely stored, dispose of your Christmas tree with Troy’s convenient curbside pickup service. This free service will be offered on regular trash days from December 26, 2007 – January 10, 2008.

For residents living in apartments, or for those who miss the pickup dates, Oakland County Parks will accept Christmas trees and recycle them. Trees will be accepted at 10 locations from Dec. 26, 2007 – Jan. 13, 2008, from 9 am – 4 pm, at no cost. Trees that are dropped off must have all decorations, plastic, metal and string removed. Those who drop off their tree will receive a voucher for a free evergreen tree seedling to be picked up in the spring.
