** Christmas Tree Recycling Drop-off Locations
------------------------------------------------------------
The Christmas Tree Recycling Drop-Off Program will run from December 26, 2024 through February 14, 2025 at selected Metro Parks locations. Trees must be cleaned of wooden stands, watering bowls, ornaments, lights, wire, string, and other decorations before drop-off. No artificial trees will be accepted. You can donate artificial trees or take them to any of our 4 Metro convenience centers (https://www.nashville.gov/departments/water/waste-and-recycling/convenience-centers) for disposal. Please do not dump any other items at these drop-off locations.

The brush collection crew will also collect your Christmas Tree en route with your brush. There will be no special pick-ups for trees.
