Christmas Tree Recycling Program
'Tis the season to tree-cycle...
The City of Mesa offers its residents a variety of
environmentally friendly ways to dispose of their Christmas trees after the
holiday season. Collected trees are taken to the Salt River Landfill and
chipped into nutrient rich mulch. Benefits from recycling these trees
include extending the life of our landfills and reusing our natural and limited
resources.
**NOTE** Please remember to
remove all nails, tree stands, lights and
decorations. Also, snow flocked trees, wreaths
and artificial trees cannot
be recycled.
All drop-off location sites are now closed.
If you still need to dispose of your Christmas tree,
please use one of the alternative options listed
below.
Residents participating in the
Green
Waste Barrel Program may place their trees inside their green barrel.
To ensure collection, the tree must fit completely inside the container with the
lid properly closed.
Curbside pickup of your Christmas tree is available for a
nominal fee. Simply call (480) 644-2221 for more details or to schedule a pickup time.
Christmas trees may be taken directly to the
Salt River
Landfill, free of charge, with a current Arizona driver's license anytime Monday
through Saturday between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. during the month of
January. The Salt River Landfill is
located at Gilbert Road and the Beeline Highway.
The City of Mesa also accepts the donation of live potted
Christmas trees, five feet or taller, for planting at City parks.
Residents may drop them off at any Mesa fire station.
Multi-unit communities such as apartments and condos may request
a free one time pick-up of Christmas trees in their complex. If
interested, a property management representative should contact City of Mesa
Customer Service at (480) 644-2221.
The Christmas Tree Recycling Program is a joint partnership
between the City of Mesa and Salt River Landfill. If you have any
questions, call (480) 644-2221. |
