City of Tuscaloosa Offers Free Christmas Tree Recycling

The City of Tuscaloosa will offer free Christmas tree recycling and a staffed holiday garbage drop-off event for two weeks after Christmas.

A city spokesperson said in a Tuesday press release that beginning on December 26th any live trees, wreaths and garlands may be dropped off at the Curry Environmental Services facility at 3440 Kauloosa Avenue to be recycled. The event will run until January 8th.

Any decorations or lights must be completely removed from greenery prior to drop-off, but a separate bin will be available to recycle Christmas lights.

Additionally, the City will host a separate staffed garbage drop-off event at the same location on Sunday, December 27th from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. for wrapping paper, boxes and other more general garbage collected over the holiday season. The event will be completely touchless, and in accordance with the statewide mask mandate, face coverings will be required.
