EDINBURG, Texas – As the holiday season winds down, the City of Edinburg invites residents to join in the environmentally friendly tradition of recycling Christmas trees. The Tree Recycling Program encourages residents to transform their festive evergreens into valuable mulch at designated drop-off locations.
| Starting January 6th through January 31st, 2025, residents can drop off their bare Christmas trees at the following locations: |
| Resource Recovery Center, 3102 S. Business 281 |
| Edinburg Regional Landfill, 8601 N. Jasman Rd. |
| Edinburg Nature Trail Park, 1300 N. Doolittle Rd. |
To ensure the success of the recycling process, residents are asked to remove all ornaments, lights, tinsel, stands, and flocking from the trees. If the tree exceeds 6 feet, homeowners should cut it in half before dropping it off. Bagging of trees is not permitted.
The drop-off locations are open Monday through Friday, with varying weekend hours at each site. No live wreaths, garlands, or plants will be accepted as part of this program.
By participating in this initiative, Edinburg residents contribute to the city’s sustainability efforts, reducing waste and promoting a greener community. The recycled trees will be chipped into mulch, which will then be repurposed for landscaping and conservation projects.
