The York County Solid Waste Authority (YCSWA) will hold a free Christmas Tree Recycling Program for all York County residents.

Residents may bring their tree to the parking lot directly across the street from the York County Resource Recovery Center, 2651 Blackbridge Road, York. Residents must remove any ornaments, lights, tinsel, and protective bags prior to dropping their tree off. The trees will be transported to Oldcastle APG to be recycled into mulch. The program will run through Saturday, Jan. 31. This is the 38th year YCSWA has offered the program.

Many municipalities now offer curbside Christmas tree collection for their residents, as well. Residents should call their municipal office to see if their municipality offers a curbside collection program.

YCSWA facilitates responsible solid waste management through an integrated strategy that emphasizes waste reduction, education, recycling, and resource recovery. For more information on the Christmas Tree Recycling Program, visit http://www.ycswa.com/services/recycling/christmas-trees.
