Christmas Tree Recycling Program
'Tis the season to tree-cycle...
The City of Mesa offers its residents a variety of
environmentally friendly ways to dispose of their Christmas trees after the
holiday season. Collected trees are taken to the Salt River Landfill and
chipped into nutrient rich mulch. Benefits from recycling these trees
include extending the life of our landfills and reusing our natural and limited
resources.
All drop-off collection sites are now closed.
Please use one of the other disposal options
available.
Residents participating in the
Green
Waste Barrel Program may place their trees inside their green barrel.
To ensure collection, the tree must fit completely inside the container with the
lid properly closed.
Curbside pickup of your Christmas tree is available for a
nominal fee.
Simply call (480) 644-2688 for more details or to schedule a pickup time.
Christmas trees may be taken directly to the
Salt River
Landfill, free of charge, with a current Arizona driver's license anytime Monday
through Saturday between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. during the month of
January. The Salt River Landfill is
located at Gilbert Road and the Beeline Highway.
The City of Mesa also accepts the donation of live potted
Christmas trees, five feet or taller, for planting at City parks. Please
call (480) 644-2222 for drop-off information.
The Christmas Tree Recycling Program is a joint partnership
between the City of Mesa and Salt River Landfill. If you have any
questions, call the Mesa Recycling Hotline at (480) 644-2222. |
