The York County Solid Waste Authority (YCSWA) will hold a free Christmas tree recycling program for all York County residents. Beginning Saturday, Dec. 26, residents may bring their tree to the parking lot located directly across the street from the York County Resource Recovery Center on Blackbridge Road in York. Residents should follow the signs along Blackbridge Road directing them to the proper location.
Residents should remove any ornaments, lights, tinsel, and protective bags prior to dropping off their tree. H & H General Excavating will recycle the trees into mulch for use in the warmer months. This program allows residents to easily dispose of their Christmas tree while reducing waste.
The YCSWA Christmas tree recycling program will run through Sunday, Jan. 31.
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. Haulers collecting dedicated loads of Christmas trees in municipal programs are accepted at no charge during regular business hours at the YCSWA's Small Load Drop-off Facility at the Resource Recovery Center.
Other drop-off sites for Christmas trees include H&H Excavating, 660 Old Hanover Road, Spring Grove, which may be contacted at 717-225-4669, and Spring Valley Mulch, 2470 Millcreek Road, Dover, which may be contacted at 717-292-3476. Readers should call ahead for hours that trees will be accepted.
