Popular free program returns to serve Allen County residents
FORT WAYNE, IN— The Allen County Department of Environmental Management, in partnership with local organizations, is pleased to announce its free Christmas tree recycling program for Allen County residents. Live Christmas trees can be dropped off at designated locations throughout the county, where they will be processed into mulch for use by parks and other community organizations. Trees will be accepted at the authorized locations from December 26, 2024, through January 12, 2025.
Before dropping off a tree, residents must remove all ornaments, tinsel and plastic bags. Artificial trees are not accepted and should be reused or donated. Wreaths and garlands are also not accepted because they often contain wires that can damage recycling equipment. Please note that trees will not be collected as part of regular trash pickup.
