Christmas Tree Recycling Program 2011-2012 has come to a close.

“Keep Truckee Meadows Beautiful’s Christmas tree recycling program is one of the best investments area residents can make.” - RGJ Editorial, December 13, 2007

While providing the community with a convenient means to dispose of cut Christmas trees, this program also preserves landfill space, limits illegal dumping, improves air quality through reduced green wood burning, provides mulch for area park and open space projects and models effective conservation practices for our present and future.

Our 2022-2012 program collected over, 10,000 Christmas trees were diverted from the landfill for use in park projects around the Truckee Meadows!
