Christmas Tree
Disposal Info - 2012/2013
There
are approximately 28 million Real Christmas Trees sold in
the U.S. every year. Real trees are a renewable, recyclable
resource. CVWMA encourages residents throughout the Central
Virginia region to recycle their personal trees. The Christmas Tree
Recycling Program offered by our member localities to their
residents is yet another way to recycle and go green for the
holidays. The recycled trees will be ground into a mulch
product.
Please be sure to remove all decorations, tinsel,
bulbs, wire and bolts from the
tree. Unless indicated, sites
will grind trees into mulch. Use of each site/option is
restricted to residents of the sponsoring city or county
only.
