This service allows the public to drop off natural Christmas trees and wreaths after the holiday season. These trees will then be ground into mulch for free use. Before dropping off any trees, check that all ornaments, lights, and garland are removed to ensure the resulting mulch is clean. When the grinding is complete, all are welcome to stop by and pick up free mulch starting Friday, January 20, until it is gone.
