City of Kerrville now offering Christmas tree recycling services

The City of Kerrville Parks and Recreation Department is now accepting live Christmas trees for recycling through January 14, 2024.  The designated drop-off area will be located in Lehmann-Monroe Park, 204 Park Lane, near the Park Lane/La Casa Street park entrance, and there is no cost associated with this program.

Live Christmas trees must be free of ornaments, lights, hangers, icicles, strings, and any other glass, metal, or plastic.  Trees that were not sold from retailers will be accepted, but trees must have all twines, ropes, and plastic nettings removed before delivery to the park.  Artificial Christmas trees will NOT be accepted.

According to Deidre Flores, Assistant Director of Parks and Recreation, the program “ensures that trees don’t get dumped in places they shouldn’t.”  For additional information, contact the Parks and Recreation Department at (830) 257-7300, or visit the city’s website at www.kerrvilletx.gov.
