How to Prepare Your Tree
- Remove the tree stand.
- Remove every light, ornament, hook, wire, ribbon, strand of tinsel, nail, and other attachment.
- Do not place the tree in a plastic bag.
- Confirm that the tree is natural and has no flocking or artificial snow.
- Secure the tree before transporting it. Use rope or tie-down straps, and do not block your lights or license plate.
- Follow signs and staff directions at the collection site.
Clean trees protect workers and chipping equipment. Decorations, metal, plastic, and flocking can contaminate the mulch or damage machinery.

Where to Get Free Christmas Tree Mulch
Recycled trees are chipped into organic mulch used in local parks and landscaping. Some agencies also make mulch available to residents while supplies last.
For the last confirmed Henderson program, free mulch was available at:
- Acacia Demonstration Gardens at Acacia Park: 50 Casa del Fuego Street, Henderson, NV 89012 (Map It)
- Pecos Legacy Park: 150 Pecos Road, Henderson, NV 89074 (Map It)
Bring your own shovel, gloves, and sturdy container. Availability is not guaranteed, and loading assistance may not be provided. Confirm the current season’s locations before traveling.
Pickup and Disposal Alternatives
If you cannot transport your tree, check whether a local hauling company or on-demand pickup service offers seasonal collection. Private pickup is separate from the free community drop-off program and may involve a fee.
Flocked trees, artificial trees, wreaths, and other items that cannot be chipped require another disposal method. Review the Las Vegas Recycling Centers Guide and confirm acceptable items with the facility or your waste hauler.
Christmas Tree Recycling FAQ
Can flocked Christmas trees be recycled?
No. Artificial snow and flocking contaminate the organic mulch. Use a regular disposal option instead.
Can I recycle an artificial Christmas tree?
Not through the live-tree recycling program. If the tree is still usable, consider donating it. Otherwise, ask your waste hauler or a local disposal facility how to handle it.
Can I leave the tree in a plastic bag?
No. Remove bags, netting, ties, and every other non-organic material before drop-off.
Do I need proof of residency?
The last regional program did not generally advertise a residency requirement for public drop-off sites. Requirements can change, so check the current listing for the site you plan to use.
Can landscapers or commercial operators use the public sites?
Do not assume commercial loads are accepted. Public collection sites are intended for household trees. Businesses should contact the program or an appropriate green-waste facility.
When will the 2026–2027 locations be confirmed?
Southern Nevada agencies normally publish seasonal details near the holidays. Check the official program links above before Christmas and again before traveling.
