Tree bins are available at these parks
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 (National Christmas Tree Association). Recycling Christmas trees helps Lake Metroparks as they are chipped and the chips are then composted or used as mulch within our 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 mid January.
