Christmas Tree Drop Off Sites

Tempe residents can dispose of their Christmas trees by dropping them off at one of the city's convenient drop-off sites.  Trees can be dropped off from 7a.m. to noon on Fridays and from 7a.m. to 1p.m. on Saturdays at the Household Products Collection Center, 1320 E. University Drive, or 24 hours, 7 days a week at the west side of Kiwanis Park Recreation Center, 6111 S. All America Way.  Both sites will accept trees through January 20 of each year.

Christmas Tree Recycling on Saturday, January 10, 2009, 8:00 a.m. to Noon

Help the environment and have your Christmas Tree shred. Christmas trees will be chipped, recycled and used in land applications in the community.  Before dropping off any trees, they must be removed from tree stands and free of nails, ornaments, lights, garland and tinsel.  If you provide your own bag you take the mulch with you.  The event will be held on Saturday, January 10, 2009 from 8:00 a.m. to Noon at Kiwanis Park Recreation Center, located at 6111 W. All-America Way. 

Christmas Tree Collection Reminder

Residents are reminded not to place Christmas trees in garbage containers.  This takes the space needed for household garbage and creates spillage when the containers are emptied. 

Please do not place your Christmas tree, or other uncontained items, out for collection no more than 10 days before the Monday of your collection week.   Please refer to the Brush & Bulky Item Collection Schedule: 
 brush and bulky item schedule.
