Trees can be accepted at a half-dozen designated garden centers, parks, and the Alpha Ridge landfill, from where they are transferred to a recycling facility to be turned into compost and mulch.
The closest recycling location to us is at Savage Park near Savage Mill.

| The tree in Union Station is probably a wee bit larger than the one in your house |
