Recycle your real Christmas tree by dropping it off at Franklin Miles Park January 1, 2025 through January 31, 2025 (any time after that will be considered illegal dumping).
Recycling real Christmas trees allows them to be turned into mulch, a woody material that helps Santa Fe’s soils stay healthy, retain water, and provide nutrients for plants year-round. Mulch is available for free at Buckman Road Recycling. Call to confirm availability.
