Residents can recycle their Christmas trees through the City of Tucson’s TreeCycle Program. The program begins on Tuesday, December 26, 2023 and continues through Monday, January 15, 2024. TreeCycle sites are located throughout Tucson and Oro Valley (see list of TreeCycle sites below).
Your Christmas tree is a sustainable resource. Remove everything from the tree, including the stand, lights, ornaments, wire, and tinsel, before dropping off at the TreeCycle sites. Also remember to Tree Pool and bring your neighbor’s tree — fewer trips means cleaner air. The The City of Tucson will grind Christmas trees and use it for compost.
