Dispose of Christmas Trees Right in City of South Euclid

South Euclid has curbside collection of Christmas trees January 1-31 by the city service department. Chips trees for mulch. All tinsel, ornaments, lights and bags must be removed.

Each year, 10 million Christmas trees end up in the landfill. Your tree does not belong in curbside recycling with your newspapers and bottles, but you can still recycle your tree. Many cities offer programs to turn your tree to mulch or wood chips. Contact your city service department or trash hauler for details.

Local farms will accept Christmas trees as animal feed. For the safety of the animals, all decorations, tinsel, ornaments and lights must be removed. On the east side, contact Kelly’s Working Well Farm in Chagrin Falls for donation details. Residents of Parma can drop off trees at Stearns Homestead in Parma (place undecorated trees in the front pasture along the fence).

Local compost and yard waste facilities in Cuyahoga County accept trees and yard waste for recycling. See a list of registered compost facilities.

 

Christmas trees can be recycled at select Lake Metroparks and Summit Metro Parks locations.

Artificial trees cannot be recycled. If they are no longer usable, they should be placed in the regular trash for disposal. If they are pre-lit, the light strings can be removed from the tree and recycled through a holiday lights recycling program.
