Holiday tree recycling for 2021
Information provided by Douglas County Parks, Trails and Building Grounds
Holiday trees may be recycled at free facilities located in Douglas County. The trees are mulched, and the mulch is available at some locations for residents while the supplies last.
Please remove all ornaments, lights, tinsel, garland, plastic wrap, tree stands, wire, rope, and nails before recycling trees. Trees that have been sprayed with artificial snow are not allowed and cannot be mulched.
