Volunteers assist in Nashville's Christmas Tree Recycling Program, promoting eco-friendly disposal.
Metro Nashville’s Christmas Tree Recycling Program is back, running from December 26 to February 14. Residents can drop off their stripped live trees at 13 designated locations throughout Davidson County. This eco-friendly initiative aims to reduce landfill waste by turning recycled trees into mulch for parks and gardens. Participants are encouraged to dispose of their trees responsibly to contribute to a greener Nashville. Along with the drop-off option, tree collection will also be available as part of routine brush collection services.
Hey there, Nashville! As the holiday season wraps up, many residents find themselves faced with the same familiar question: What to do with that beloved live Christmas tree? Well, worry no more. The Metro Nashville Department of Transportation (NDOT) has once again launched its fantastic Christmas Tree Recycling Program to help you dispose of your trees sustainably, and it runs from December 26 through February 14!
Did you know that millions of live Christmas trees end up in our landfills each year? It’s a shame, especially when there’s a greener solution at hand! By participating in this recycling program, families can be part of a wonderful initiative that emphasizes environmental stewardship and waste reduction in our charming city. Trees collected through this effort won’t just vanish; they will be transformed into mulch for parks and gardens!
This year, the program boasts 13 designated drop-off locations throughout Davidson County. That means you won’t have to go far to find a spot to recycle your tree. Here’s the complete list of drop-off sites for your convenience:
Just remember, the deadline to drop off those trees is Valentine’s Day, so don’t wait until the last minute!
To keep things running smoothly, there are a few simple guidelines to follow before you drop off your tree. First things first—make sure your tree is stripped of all decorations. That means no wooden stands, watering bowls, ornaments, lights, wires, strings, or anything else. The goal is to make the recycling process easy for everyone!
Also, keep in mind that trees can’t have any artificial white frost on their branches. We want to ensure that all trees brought in are as natural and clean as possible!
In addition to this recycling effort, NDOT is also offering tree collection as a part of its routine brush collection service. So if you can’t make it to a drop-off location, there’s still a way to get rid of that tree hassle-free!
Thousands of Davidson County residents are expected to take part in this excellent recycling initiative. By doing so, you’ll not only free up space in your home but also contribute to a healthier environment. It’s a win-win!
If you’re looking for more details about the drop-off locations and guidelines, you can visit the NDOT website. Let’s make this holiday season’s end a little bit greener, Nashville! And remember, every little bit helps in keeping our lovely city proud and sustainable!
