The annual Christmas Tree Recycling Program begins the day after Christmas, Dec. 26, 2024 and runs through Jan. 16, 2025 and features 16 drop-off locations available to City residents.
The program turns recycled Christmas trees into useful products. Trees are given a second life by converting them into high-quality compost, wood chips and mulch products for residents and business owners to purchase year-round.
City residents may load up to two cubic yards of compost and mulch for free at the Miramar Greenery.
