Four collection sites are located along Highway 90, with a fifth at Plant Watson in Gulfport.Rodenburg Avenue and Highway 90 in Biloxi“We’re once again so proud to be partnering with Harrison County and the Harrison County Beautification Commission,” said Jeff Shepard with Mississippi Power. Trees must be live trees with all decorations removed. Flocked trees are not accepted. Residents must remove all lights, tinsel, and ornaments before dropping off trees. The trees will be mulched, and the mulch will be used at parks, walking trails, and garden beds throughout Harrison County. “It’s a great way to help the taxpayers and the county’s not having to spend money on mulch and different things like that,” Shepard said.“You don’t have to do it right away. If you want to enjoy the Christmas spirit a little bit longer, please do,” Shepard said.
