Keep Mobile Beautiful Announces Christmas Tree Recycling
Dec 20th, 2012
Don’t add to the trash problem piling up in Mobile - recycle your Christmas tree!Keep Mobile Beautiful is collecting old Christmas Trees now through January 9. The trees will be ground into mulch for use by area gardeners.

3. Wildwood Shopping Center - 4055 Cottage Hill west of Azalea
4. Airport at University – behind the BP Station
