Christmas tree recycling locations offered throughout northern Nevada
CARSON CITY — Since 2001, more than 350,000 trees have been recycled throughout Nevada thanks to the help of several Christmas tree recycling programs, thousands of volunteers, and many community sponsors.
These programs were established to provide Nevada communities with an easy alternative to landfilling and to prevent illegal dumping of Christmas trees in public open spaces. When chipped into mulch, cut trees become valuable organic material used in landscaping projects that help conserve soil moisture, keep plants healthy, and control weeds.
Carson City:
During the week of January 7-11, either leave your tree (6 ft. sections or smaller) curbside on your regular trash day or drop off at the following locations:
· Big Lots parking lot, corner of Clearview and South Carson Street
· Public Works Yard at Butti and East Fifth Street
· Bully’s parking lot, 3530 North Carson Street
· Waste Management Parking lot at 5560 Sheep Drive
· Carson City Landfill (Green Waste Pile)
After January 13, please take your Christmas tree to the Carson City Landfill for recycling. Trees left curbside after Jan. 13 will be disposed of as garbage and will need to be cut into three foot sections so they will fit into the Waste Management trucks. If you have questions call 775-887-2355 ex. 7376.
