See Where Edina Residents Can Recycle Holiday Trees And Lights

EDINA, MN —According to the city of Edina, Americans generate 23-percent more tons of waste in December than in any other month.

But it's possible to stay green while disposing of those items. That's why the city is reminding residents about their recycling options this holiday season.

Beginning Dec. 27, holiday trees can be recycled for free at SMSC Organics Recycling Facility in Shakopee, located at 1905 Mystic Lake Dr. South.

Meanwhile, the lights and strings from those trees can be recycled at any of the three Edina Liquor store locations in town: Edina Liquor 50th & France, at 3943 W 50th St.; Edina Liquor Grandview, at 5013 Vernon Ave.; and Edina Liquor Southdale, at 6755 York Ave.

Or, broken and unwanted light strings can be recycled at Express Metals in Hopkins, 8094 Excelsior Blvd.

As always, food scraps can be recycled in the organics cart.
