Dallas has launched a post-holiday tree recycling program for the 2024-2025 season.
As the holiday season winds down, Dallas residents looking to responsibly dispose of their real Christmas trees will have an environmentally friendly option. The City of Dallas Sanitation Services Department has announced a comprehensive tree recycling initiative running through February 3, 2025.
How to participate in the recycling program
Dallas residents can drop off their natural Christmas trees at any City of Dallas Transfer Station during the program period. To ensure proper recycling, trees must be completely undecorated. That means they’re free of all lights, tinsel, ornaments, and other holiday decorations. The process requires no special preparation like bagging or wrapping.
The drop-off locations include:
- McCommas Bluff Landfill: 5100 Youngblood Rd.
- Northwest Transfer Station: 9500 Harry Hines Blvd.
- Southwest Transfer Station: 4610 S. Westmoreland Rd.
Important guidelines for residents to note:
- Each household is limited to one tree when using transfer stations, except at McCommas Bluff Landfill
- Multiple trees can be disposed of at the McCommas Bluff Landfill
- Only natural, real trees are accepted for recycling
Program details in Spanish
The city has made this information accessible to Spanish-speaking residents as well:
“¿Tienes un árbol navideño real para desechar? Los residentes de Dallas pueden dejar árboles naturales sin decorar en las estaciones de transferencia de la Ciudad de Dallas desde el 26 de diciembre de 2024 hasta el 3 de febrero de 2025. ¡Asegúrate de quitar todas las luces, oropel y decoraciones! No se necesitan bolsas ni envolturas.
