Still need to recycle your Christmas tree? Several locations are still accepting them for the next several days. 

Keep Truckee Meadows Beautiful (KTMB) will collect trees until January 11th from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Locations include:

  • Bartley Ranch Park
  • Reno Sports Complex
  • Shadow Mountain Sports Complex in Sparks

On the weekend of January 3rd and 4th, locations include:

  • Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District Station in Spanish Springs
  • Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District Volunteer Station in Lemmon Valley.
  • Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District Station in Washoe Valley

If you are dropping off a tree, make sure you clean it up, or the tree will not be accepted.

Chris Ewing, the Communications and Development Director for Keep Truckee Meadows Beautiful, explains, "You can bring by your Christmas tree free of lights, ornaments, and tinsel, and no flocking or wreaths. We can't accept those because they won't go through the chipper."

After the trees have been collected, they're chipped down into mulch and used for beautification projects throughout the area.

Local scouts are working with KTMB to help people recycle their Christmas trees. They will come to your door to pick up your tree for you. Click below for more specific info  -
