Upcoming Events
Christmas Tree Recycling
When the final carol has been sung and the last cookie baked, it's time to give a final Christmas gift by recycling your Christmas tree. Christmas tree recycling is good for the environment and saves space at local landfills. The recycled trees will be chipped into mulch for use in flowerbeds and gardens.
The City of North Richland Hills and Duncan Disposal will be offering a Christmas tree recycling program for residents starting December 26. To make recycling simple, two convenient options will be available:
- Trees can be dropped off for recycling December 26th through January 7th at Green Valley Park, 7701 Smithfield Road.
- Residents can place Christmas trees curbside for recycling on Wednesday, December 31 and Wednesday, January 7. (Trees that are placed curbside on your normal garbage collections day will be put in the landfill and not recycled.)
In order for trees to be recycled they should be free of tinsel, ornaments, bags, plastic and stands. Mulch from the recycled trees will be available for residents to pick up at Green Valley Park from January 10 - 16.
