The City of Deer Park does not currently recycle Christmas trees. They can be placed curbside along with your regular household waste or placed curbside with your weekly heavy trash pickup.
If you are interested in recycling your tree there are a few ideas to consider:
- Chop it into firewood and kindling. A standard noble fire tree can be turned into more than 13 pounds of firewood to keep you warm this winter. Just make sure you give it plenty of time to dry first so that it burns cleaner.
- Rent a wood chipper and use for mulch around your home.
- Make your own coasters. If you're crafty, shake off all the needles into your yard us as mulch, then cut the trunk into rustic coasters.
