The City of Austin has been recycling Christmas trees for over thirty years.
Every year community members (young and old) come out to participate in the event.
This year we need your help unloading and taking tinsels off trees as they are dropped off at Zilker park to help form a mountain of memories to be recycled.
The trees will eventually be turned into mulch and given free to the community. Please come out and share in the fun.
We will provide the morning coffee, hot chocolate, snacks and a '2017 Christmas Tree Recycling’ souvenir t-shirt.

[January 6, 2018 (Saturday) 10am to 2pm]
