Recycle Your Christmas Tree In Richmond and Henrico County 

Many CVWMA-member localities will offer complimentary recycling of real Christmas trees beginning December 26 and into the New Year.

The trees are ground into mulch and reused in the landscape, rather than taking up space in a landfill.

Each recycling site is open to residents of the host locality only. Identification may be required.

Decorations and lights must be removed prior to drop off.
