No rush, but eventually you’ll need to say goodbye to your Christmas tree. Here’s how to recycle and throw out your real tree.
Recycle
Let your tree return to the earth by recycling it. You have two options for drop off:
- Bachman Transfer Station, 9500 Harry Hines Blvd. | Monday through Saturday, 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
- McCommas Bluff Landfill, 5100 Youngblood Rd. | Monday through Friday, 5 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturdays, 6 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Know before you throw. All trees must be naked — remove tinsel, lights, tree stands, and all other decorations as they aren’t biodegradable.
Curbside disposal
Kick it to the curb. You may place your tree (and any other holiday waste) out for collection during the monthly brush and bulky item collection.
It won’t be recycled, but you can’t beat the convenience.
