Time to take down the tree?
Starting today, Davidson County residents can bring their Christmas trees to one of 11 drop off sites. Public Works will collect the trees for mulching at the city's Bordeaux Mulch Facility.
All trees must be free of lights, ornaments, icicles, all tinsel and garland. No flocked trees will be accepted.
Recycling live Christmas trees into mulch, keeps them out of landfills and helps save Metro the cost of disposal fees. Almost 18,000 Christmas trees are recycled each year through the Metro Public Works/Metro Parks and Recreation drop-off program. This is the eighth year for the program.
Natural brown mulch, made from Christmas trees and yard brush, is sold at the Bordeaux facility for eleven dollars a cubic yard.
