You could just cut up your real Christmas tree and throw it away after the holidays, but a much better choice would be to give it a second life by “tree-cycling” it for mulch.
“Christmas trees are a beautiful tradition,” said Solid Waste Marketing Manager Marcus Lee in a press release. “When the season ends, if you take your Christmas tree to any of the Tree-cycling drop-off locations you renew its beauty by giving it back to the earth to help new trees grow - not to the landfill where its life cycle stops permanently.”
Only live trees will be accepted; no live garlands or wreaths. Make sure the tree is free from any decorations, lights or stands and cut it in half if it’s taller than six feet, and then take it to any of these drop-off centers:Culebra Road Drop-Off CenterJan. 10-13 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.Jan. 3-6 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.Rigsby Road Drop-Off CenterJan. 10-13 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.San Antonio residents with green organic bins can also place smaller trees in them for their normal collection dates.
The mulch will be available for free from the Bitters brush location starting in mid-January while supplies last.Jan. 2-14 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.“This is a great offer opportunity for the citizens of San Antonio,” said Solid Waste Director David Newman in a press release. “I hope they will take Atlas up on their offer for some premium and wonderfully rich San Antonio Compost.”
