Residents of San Antonio participate in Christmas tree recycling.
San Antonio is offering free Christmas tree recycling services from January 4 to January 15, 2025. Residents can drop off their undecorated live trees at designated locations around the city. The recycled trees will be transformed into mulch, which will be available for free pick-up at the Bitters Brush Recycling Center starting mid-January. This initiative aims to promote sustainability and prevent waste during the post-holiday season.
The festive season has come and gone, and now it’s time to tackle the aftermath! If you find yourself wondering what to do with that beautiful live Christmas tree that has filled your home with holiday cheer, look no further! The city of San Antonio is stepping up to ensure that your used Christmas tree doesn’t end up in a landfill but instead gets a second life through free recycling services!
Mark your calendars, folks! From January 4 to January 15, 2025, residents of San Antonio can recycle their live, undecorated Christmas trees without any cost. It’s pretty simple – drop off those trees at one of four designated locations, where city employees are ready to make sure your tree gets composted properly.
But hold on! Before you toss your tree in the car, remember a few essential rules. Make sure your tree is loose and unbagged and free from any decorations, lights, tree stands, or that artificial snow you might have used to give it a frosty look. We want these trees to be ready for recycling!
Here are the four convenient drop-off centers where you can take your tree:
If you have a smaller tree, you also have the option to toss it into your regular green organic cart during your weekly collection. Easy-peasy, right?
Now here’s where it gets exciting! After your tree has been recycled, it doesn’t just vanish into thin air. The trees will be transformed into mulch, and guess what? This free mulch will be available for pick-up starting mid-January at the Bitters Brush Recycling Center while supplies last. Such a fantastic way to not only recycle but also to beautify your garden with some free mulch!
If you want to know more about collection services and what you can and cannot dispose of, you can find everything you need on the SARecycles website. It’s packed full of information aimed at helping residents recycle effectively and responsibly.
So there you have it, San Antonio! Don’t let that lovely Christmas tree go to waste; instead, take advantage of this fabulous recycling opportunity. Together, let’s make our city greener and cleaner one recycled tree at a time!
Celebrate the Holidays in San Antonio!
