As the Christmas season begins to close, it's time to think about what to do with that beautiful Christmas tree.

Tyler residents can drop off their undecorated, non-flocked, natural Christmas trees in designated areas at Golden Road Park and Fun Forest Park now through Jan. 9, thanks to the City of Tyler Solid Waste Department and Keep Tyler Beautiful.

Golden Road Park is located at the intersection of McDonald Road and Golden Road. Fun Forest Park is located in the 900 block of North Glenwood Boulevard.

All decorations, such as lights and ornaments must be removed from the tree, before dropping it off near the sign that says “Christmas Tree Recycling.”

Area fisherman are invited to pick up the natural trees, and sink them into local lakes to create fish habitats. These habitats improve fishing in local lakes by creating areas where fish gather to hide and eat.

Some trees will also be disposed of at the landfill, these trees will be picked up at the curb. To get more information on Christmas tree recycling contact Gary Lynch with the City of Tyler Parks and Recreation at 903-531-1348.
