Dripping Springs
Dripping Springs area residents can easily recycle their holiday trees with the City of Dripping Springs.
From now through January 10, trees can be dropped off anytime at the concrete slab on the west side of “the triangle” (RR12/U.S. 290).
Residents are asked to please remember to remove all lights, wire, tinsel, decorations, and stands from the trees. Trees with flocking (artificial snow) are not accepted.
The collected trees will be turned into mulch and made available to the public at “the triangle” from January 11 through January 15, on a first-come, first-served basis.
Please bring your own tools and storage containers for loading and transporting the mulch.

Now that Christmas is over, you may be wondering how to dispose of your tree? Texas Disposal Systems (TDS) will pick-up unflocked Christmas trees curbside on regularly scheduled green waste pick-up days from Dec. 26, 2020 – Jan. 31, 2021.
Trees must be clear of décor, cut into 4’ pieces or less and set outside at the curb. They will be brought to a collection station and ground into mulch.

Dripping Springs tree disposal is actually at the Ranch Park on Route 12 this year. Same as last year. Not at the corner of 290 and 12.
