Recycling Fresh-Cut Christmas Trees

January 2, 2013 |

Winston-Salem city brush crews will start collecting fresh-cut Christmas trees. They'll grind them into mulch for parks and roadsides.

Remove all lights, decorations, stands and nails. Then single family home residents inside the city limits can put their Christmas trees at the curb for pick-up. It may take several weeks to collect all the trees.

For people who live in apartments, who live outside the city limits or who want to dispose of their trees quickly they can take them to the following recreation centers for recycling through January 25, 2013:
• Crawford Park, 4226 Oak Ridge Dr.
• Hanes Hosiery Recreation Center, 501 Reynolds Blvd.
• Hanes Park (tennis court parking lot), 625 West End Blvd.
• Little Creek Recreation Center, 610 Foxcroft Dr.
• Old Town Recreation Center (tennis court parking lot), 4550 Shattalon Dr.
• Parkland Park (tennis courts), 1660 Brewer Rd.
• Polo Park (swimming pool parking lot), 1850 Polo Rd.
• Salem Lake (at the gate), 1001 Salem Lake Rd.
• Sprague Street Recreation Center, 1350 E. Sprague St.
• Winston Lake Park, 3535 Winston Lake Rd.
For more information, call Winston-Salem CityLink 311.
