Holiday preparations are in full force for the Keep Truckee Meadows Beautiful Organization and its Christmas tree recycling program.
Keep Truckee Meadows Beautiful will be hosting its annual Christmas tree recycling program Thursday, December 26th through Tuesday January 7th.
Over the last 25 years the program has been running, it has helped divert 160,000 trees from the landfill and turn them into mulch for weed abatement and landscaping projects in community parks.
KTMB encourages residents to recycle their Christmas trees at one of their six community drop-off locations.
The program is for residents only. Commercials tree lots may take their trees to RT Donovan in Sparks.
