Trees will be accepted until January 22.
After the holidays, don’t throw your real Christmas tree in the trash or set it on the curb. Real Christmas trees are biodegradable, which means they can be easily reused or recycled for mulch and other purposes. Recycling Christmas trees helps Lake Metroparks as they are chipped and the chips are then composted or used as mulch within the parks.
Lake Metroparks offers convenient Christmas tree recycling drop off locations in parks throughout Lake County. Please remove all decorations before placing trees in designated bins. Tree bins are available at the parks listed below until January 22.
Please no commercial or municipal drop-offs or other debris.
