The annual Christmas Tree recycling event is returning to Palm Coast for its 16th year on Saturday, Jan. 7.
Residents who recycle their Christmas tree on Jan. 7 will receive a free three-gallon tree or shrub, while supplies last, according to a press release from the city. The event will be 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Palm Coast Fuel Depot at 22 Utility Drive.
“The Christmas Tree recycling event has become part of a holiday tradition for many residents,” Palm Coast Urban Forester Carol Mini said. “It signifies a new year ahead and time to clear the home of the holiday tree and piles of paper.”
The donated trees will be ground down and used as mulch for the parks and trails throughout Palm Coast, the press release said. Residents should remove lights, tinsel and ornaments before donating their Christmas trees.
The city is also offering a free professional paper-shredding service at the same time for items like expired credit cards, check books, spiral notebooks and more, the press release said.
Residents should not bring items like three-ring binders, X-rays, batteries or large amounts of metal or plastic for shredding. The shredded items will be recycled.
