The York County Solid Waste Authority will offer a Christmas tree recycling program for all York County residents. Through this program, residents may dispose of their Christmas tree free of charge while reducing waste. Beginning Thursday, Dec. 26, residents may bring their tree to the parking lot directly across the street from the York County Resource Recovery Center, located at 2651 Blackbridge Road, York.

Residents must remove any ornaments, lights, tinsel and protective bags prior to dropping off their tree. H&H General Excavating will recycle the trees into mulch. The program, now in its 37th year, will run through Friday, Jan. 31, 2025.

Many municipalities now offer curbside Christmas tree collection for their residents, as well. Residents should call their municipal office to see if their municipality offers a curbside collection program.
