The city says that from Dec. 26 through Jan. 6, residents can drop off trees and other natural holiday greenery at the Curry Environmental Services Facility, which is located at 3440 Reese Phifer Avenue.

The drop-off site will be open around the clock.

Officials said all greenery must be completely free of decorations, lights, tinsel and ornaments.

Holiday light strands can also be recycled on-site in clearly marked containers.

Residents looking to dispose of artificial Christmas trees are encouraged to contact local thrift stores or nonprofit organizations. Artificial trees will not be recycled through the city’s program.

During the recycling period, the city will also place a holiday garbage collection trailer and an additional cardboard recycling bin outside the Curry facility and at Verner Elementary School to help manage post-holiday waste.
