Christmas Tree 2023 Recycling Information

Christmas Tree 2023 Recycling Information:

Recycle your Christmas tree this holiday season and deliver your community a gift that keeps on giving! The Nevada Division of Environmental Protection’s Recycling Program is encouraging Nevadans to take advantage of free Christmas tree recycling opportunities available across the state as a simple, eco-friendly alternative to dumping trees in the landfill. Recycled Christmas trees serve a second life by being turned into mulch and then used in beautification projects across the state.

ALL TREES MUST BE FREE OF LIGHTS, ORNAMENTS, FLOCKING, AND TINSEL
