Sunday is the last day that Christmas trees and other greenery can be recycled at Tuscaloosa’s Curry Environmental Facility.
The city of Tuscaloosa has recycled more than 1,200 trees since the program started 13 years ago, said city spokeswoman Deidre Stalnaker.
Once collected, the trees are used as wood mulch in city landscaping and other community projects, she said.
Trees, wreaths and garland are accepted. In order to be recycled, all greenery must be stripped of lights and decorations.
Plug-in holiday light strands can be recycled on-site in marked containers. The lights will be included in the city’s electronic recycling program and will continue to be collected year-round.
