YORK COUNTY, Pa. — The York County Solid Waste Authority announced this week it will hold a free Christmas Tree Recycling Program for all York County residents.
Beginning Dec. 26, residents may bring their tree to the parking lot located directly across the street from the York County Resource Recovery Center in Manchester Township, the YCSWA said.
The Resource Recovery Center is located at 2651 Blackbridge Road.
Residents must remove any ornaments, lights, tinsel, and protective bags prior to dropping their tree off, the YCSWA said. Then, the H&H General Excavating will recycle the trees into mulch.
"This program is a great way for residents to easily dispose of their Christmas tree while reducing waste," the YCSWA said.
The Christmas Tree Recycling Program runs through Jan. 31, 2022. This is the 34th year the Authority has offered the program.
Many municipalities now offer curbside Christmas tree collection for their residents, as well, the YCSWA said. Residents should call their municipal office to see if their municipality offers a curbside collection program.
