Birmingham is continuing the holiday spirit with its annual Christmas tree recycling event from December 26 to January 9. Residents are encouraged to drop off their undecorated trees at designated locations, including the Birmingham Zoo and Homewood. Trees collected will be transformed into mulch for community gardens and parks. Homewood residents also have the option of curbside pickup during this period. Join this eco-friendly initiative to give your tree a second life and help keep Birmingham green as the New Year begins.
Hey, Birmingham! The holiday cheer may be winding down, but there’s still a good reason to keep that festive spirit going strong. Residents are warmly encouraged to recycle their loved ones—yes, we mean your live Christmas trees! This eco-friendly initiative is back, and it’s the perfect way to give your tree a second life after the holiday season.
The recycling event kicks off from December 26 and runs through January 9. This gives you a nice window to dispose of your trees responsibly. But before you load them up in the car, remember to take off all those decorations! That means no ornaments, lights, wreaths, or garlands. We love the sparkle, but our recycling partners need clean trees to work their magic.
So, where can you drop your naked trees? Here’s a handy guide:
Homewood has a special treat for its residents! Tree removal will be included in waste removal services during this recycling period. How convenient is that? Simply leave your tree out, and the dedicated service team will take care of the rest.
Now you might be wondering, what happens to your recycled trees? Well, they won’t just sit in a landfill, that’s for sure! The trees collected will be transformed into mulch that will be used in community gardens and even at the Birmingham Zoo to help combat erosion. Talk about a win-win!
Many nearby communities are also getting in on the action. Places like Gardendale, Hoover, and Mountain Brook are offering similar services, providing both curbside pickup and drop-off options for your convenience. No matter where you are in the area, there’s no reason to let that tree go to waste!
So, Birmingham, now that the holiday season is coming to a close, how about giving your tree a new purpose? Join in on this eco-conscious initiative and help keep our lovely city green. Remember, don’t forget to strip your tree of its decorations—let’s keep it tidy! Happy recycling, and here’s to a greener New Year!
