Starting Tuesday, Dec. 26, the City of El Paso is offering a FREE recycling service for live Christmas trees.
You can drop off your tree at the Environmental Services Department’s Citizen Collection Stations from Tuesday to Saturday until February 17, between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Here are the locations of the Citizen Collection Stations:– 1034 Pendale Rd.
– 121 Atlantic Rd.
– 4501 Hondo Pass Dr.
– 2492 Harrison Ave.
– 3510 Confederate Dr.
Please make sure your tree is free of ornaments, decorations (like string lights, frost, and glitter), and any other non-tree items.
Additionally, you can also bring other recyclable materials like cardboard gift boxes, holiday cards, and wrapping paper. Just remember to remove any plastic and glitter from them.
Safety reminders:– Putting up the Christmas tree is fun, but remember to take it down in a timely manner.
– As the tree dries out and turns brown, it becomes a fire hazard, so dispose of it properly.
– Avoid storing live trees in your house or garage.
– Never burn trees in a fireplace or wood stove.
Let's keep our city clean and safe this holiday season!
