Christmas Tree Recycling

Christmas is over and you are taking down your decorations.  Have you thought about what you are going to do with your cut fresh Christmas tree?  Consider donating it to Pasco County Parks & Recreation for use as mulch in the county parks.  From now through January 9, Pasco County will be accepting Christmas trees to mulch.  Drop-off sites are located throughout the county.  Please be sure that all decorations, wire hangers, lights, tinsel, etc. are removed from the tree before you drop it off.  For more information and for pickup site locations, please click on the link below.

Pasco County will recycle Christmas trees for mulch through Jan. 9 - St. Petersburg Times
