Christmas Tree Recycling

Each Christmas, approximately 34 million Christmas trees end up buried in landfills in the United States. Don’t let this happen to your tree! Complete the season by sending your tree back to nature. Trees will be accepted at the Tuscola County Recycling beginning Monday January 3, 2011 through Friday January 14, 2011. Please be sure to remove all decorations including tinsel, ornaments and tree stands.

The Recycling Center is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm and Wednesdays from 8:00am to 5:30pm. Tuscola County Recycling is located at 1123 Mertz Road (M24) in Caro and has been County owned and operated since 1996.

For each tree you bring to be recycled you will receive a coupon for a free tree seedling donated by Tuscola County Soil Conservation District, which can be picked up in April during the spring tree sale. Kappen Tree Service has donated their services once again this year and will be chipping the trees for reuse as mulch.

You may contact Tuscola County Recycling Center for more information by calling (989) 672-1673 or email recycle@tuscolacounty.org.
