Curbside and Christmas tree recycling locations to begin in Carson City, Northern Nevada
Since 2001, more than 300,000 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 land filling 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:
Trees can be placed curbside on regular trash days from Jan. 2-6, 2017. Trees must be cut into 3 foot sections for curbside pickup. Trees may be dropped off at the following locations from Jan. 2-6, 2017 only:
