City Offers Multiple Options for Christmas Tree Recycling

UPDATE: NO ORNAMENTS, TINSEL OR WIRES

The City of San Marcos is offering several ways to discard live Christmas trees as the holiday season wraps up:

· Christmas tree drop off: Dec. 26, 2016 – Jan. 13, 2017 at 401 E Hopkins (Grant Harris parking lot). Trees of all sizes with no ornaments, tinsel or wires will be mulched on site (mulch will be available to residents free of charge).

· Curbside Christmas tree service: Now through Jan. 31, 2017. Trees up to 4 feet long with no ornaments, tinsel or wires can be bundled with twine (no wire) and set out on residents’ normal trash or green waste pickup day.

· Green waste cart: Trees may be cut up and placed in your green waste cart for pickup. The lid must be able to close. Again, no ornaments, tinsel or wires.

· Brush drop off: Jan. 14, 2017 8 a.m. – 1 p.m. Monthly brush drop off for brushy waste. The brush drop off can be reached by taking the San Marcos Animal Shelter entrance at 750 River Road and following the signs. No ornaments, tinsel or wires.

· Artificial trees and broken string lights: Green Guy Recycling, located at 937 HWY 80, will take artificial trees and string lights.

Any recycling questions can be sent to garbage@sanmarcostx.gov or call 512.393.8407.
