FREE Christmas Tree Recycling
Recycle your real Christmas tree by dropping it off at Franklin Miles Park or the Buckman Road Recycling & Transfer Station! Recycling Christmas trees into mulch provides woody material that can help to make Santa Fe’s soils healthy, increase water retention and provide nutrients for plants. Make sure that all lights, ornaments, flocking and decorations on the tree are removed before recycling. No stands.
Christmas trees will be accepted through January 14, 2023 at Franklin Miles Park and the Buckman Road Recycling & Transfer Station.
