Recycle Your Christmas Tree

Dec 20th, 2010

Keep Mobile Beautiful is collecting old Christmas Trees now through January 12. The trees will be ground into mulch for use by area gardeners. Residents are encouraged to continue or begin a new Christmas family tradition of recycling their old tree rather than tossing it to the curb.

Trees may be delivered at any time to the recycling stations. However, Keep Mobile Beautiful volunteers will be on hand Saturday and Sunday, January 2, 8 & 9 to assist recyclers with tree unloading from 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.

1. Parkway Plaza - 2655 Dauphin Island Parkway
2. 2501 Government Boulevard – in front of Food World
