Edinburg, Texas —With Christmas behind us, many people may already be looking to get rid of their trees. The City of Edinburg encourages all residents to recycle their Christmas trees instead of throwing them out. The Department of Solid Waste Management will be collecting trees starting January 5.
Edinburg residents are asked to place their Christmas trees next to the curb for collection. Trees must be free of decorations, tinsel, flocking and stands. Flocked trees should be placed with regular brush for collection.
Residents can also drop off their trees at the City’s Solid Waste Management Office located at 8601 N. Jasman Road, Monday–Friday 8 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. and Saturdays from 8 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.
Meanwhile, wrapping paper, cards, and boxes can also be recycled by dropping them off at the Edinburg Recycling Center located at 3102 S. Business 281 (Closner Blvd). The Recycling Center is open Monday – Friday from 8 a.m. – 6:30 p.m. and weekends from 8 – 5. For more information on what items can be recycled residents can call 956-381-5635.
Edinburg’s Christmas tree collection runs from January 5–23, 2015.
