The Town of Parker will host its annual Christmas Tree Recycling Program from Dec. 26 through Jan. 24. This year’s drop-off site will again be the east paved Salisbury Park ballfields parking lot, located at 11920 Motsenbocker Rd., and available to Parker residents only.
Both green and flocked real trees are accepted. Before dropping off any Christmas trees, remove all plastic tarps, tree stands and nails, ornaments, lights, garland and tinsel. No artificial trees, garland or wreathes with wire backing will be accepted.
Please drop off during park hours only, 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., and do not illegally dump any other items at the drop-off location. Commercial tree lot disposal or yard waste is not permitted.
The trees collected by the program will be chipped into mulch, which will be available at the same site at no charge to residents beginning
Jan. 2. Remaining mulch will be utilized throughout the Town and not discarded in a landfill.
Residents should not place Christmas trees in garbage containers. Keeping trees out of the landfills helps extend the life of landfills and produces a useful resource. The annual Christmas Tree Recycling Program is just one of many ways that Parker residents can reduce, reuse and recycle.
Please contact the Town of Parker at 303.840.9546 with further questions.
