The state of Nevada has a Christmas tree recycling program Since 2001, more than 300,000 trees have been recycled throughout Nevada thanks to the help of Christmas Tree Recycling programs, thousands of volunteers along with community sponsors. These programs were established to provide our communities with an easy alternative to putting them in the landfill and to prevent illegal dumping of Christmas trees. When chipped into mulch, cut trees become valuable organic material used in landscaping projects that help conserve soil moisture, keep plants healthy and control weeds.
In Winnemucca, residents can drop off trees from 12 p.m.-3 p.m. at the Community Garden at 151 McArthur St. from Dec. 26 through Jan. 15. Those who can’t make it during those hours may use the drop-off box at the garden. Questions? call (775) 623-2333.
