Christmas tree recycling runs through January 31

Anyone may recycle their Christmas trees for free after the holiday season by bringing them to one of five drop-off locations in Toledo through January 31.

The drop off sites are: Byrne Park, 2201 Byrne Road; Jermain Park, 1720 South Cove Boulevard; Ravine II Park, 1600 Mott Avenue; Detwiler Park, 4001 North Summit Street and Bowman Park, 4793 Jackman Road.

Due to ongoing construction, Schneider Park will not be open for Christmas tree recycling this year.

The drop-off locations will be clearly marked at each park. Trees should be cleared of all decorations, lights, bags or other materials. All trees collected will be ground into mulch by forestry crews.
