Getting Your Tree Ready
We have not found this year's drop-off sites or pickup days for Fort Worth yet. These steps are common to Christmas tree recycling programs. Take off all lights, tinsel, ornaments and the tree stand. Leave the tree unbagged, because programs that chip trees into mulch generally ask for them loose. Check with Fort Worth or its county for the dates and places that apply this season, since they change from one year to the next.
What Happens to the Trees
Undecorated trees are recycled; trees left with decorations are sent to the trash (per 2022 city notice).
