If you want to get rid of that tree for free, there are a few days left to drop it off with Keep Truckee Meadows Beautiful.
Their annual tree recycling program runs through Monday.
There will be an additional drop-off weekend at Bartley Ranch *only on the following weekend of January 11th and 12th.
KTMB will also take non-working Christmas lights at three staffed locations through January 6th and the additional weekend of January 11 & 12 at Bartley Ranch. Non-working Christmas Lights can also be dropped off at any Greater Nevada Credit Union in Reno/Sparks through January 6th.
Trees must be free of lights, ornaments, flocking, tinsel, and no wreaths, please. KTMB is collaborating with the Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District to include additional drop-off locations in the outlying communities of Lemmon Valley, Washoe Valley, and Spanish Springs. These trees will be turned into mulch for area parks and beautification projects in Reno and Sparks.
