Recycle Christmas Trees at Rio Grande Recycle Center
Aspen, CO - The City of Aspen is offering free Christmas tree recycling. Trees are accepted until Feb. 14 at the Rio Grande Recycle Center. Prior to recycling the tree, remove all tinsel, lights, and decorations. Wreaths and garlands are not accepted due to the danger of metal wiring when chipping the trees. Recycled trees will be turned into mulch for future planting.
The Rio Grande Recycle Center is located across from Obermeyer Place on Rio Grande Place. For more information about the Rio Grande Recycle Center, visit aspen.gov/345/Rio-Grande-Recycle-Center.
