St. Johns County invites residents to recycle Christmas trees

Posted

St. Johns County Parks & Recreation is hosting its free “treecycling” program so residents can recycle their Christmas trees into mulch for the county’s parks. All trees brought to “treecycling” stations must be real and free of holiday decorations.

“This annual event will help continue keeping real Christmas trees out of our landfills and utilizes them in a way that benefits St. Johns County even when they’re no longer lighting up our homes,” St. Johns County Natural Resources Superintendent Nathan Otter said.

“Treecycling” will run through Jan. 3, from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., at the following locations:

  • Ron Parker Park, 607 Old Beach Road
  • Mills Field, 1805 Racetrack Road
  • Davis Park, 210 Davis Park Road
  • Tillman Ridge Transfer Station, 3005 Allen Nease Road
  • Stratton Road Transfer Station, 250 North Stratton Road

Residents can also follow this link to an online map on the county website that will let them identify the location nearest to them.

The Parks and Recreation Department’s annual “treecycling” program is a facet of the county’s ongoing dedication to sustainability, this time with a festive spin.
