'TIS THE SEASON TO TREECYCLE
For the 25th year, residents can recycle their Christmas trees through the City of Tucson’s TreeCycle Program. The program begins on Monday, Dec. 26 and continues through Monday, Jan. 16. TreeCycle collection sites are located throughout the metro-Tucson area (see list of TreeCycle sites below).
Please remove all lights, ornaments, decorations, plastic tree bags, and tree stands before dropping off at the TreeCycle sites. Trees collected are chipped and these items can cause damage to people and the equipment. Please do not leave trees outside the collection time or area due to fire hazard.
