Merry Mulch your Holiday Tree!
Recycle your holiday tree at the curb or at one of Howard County's 10 drop-off sites!
Before you recycle your holiday tree, please remove all tinsel, garland, ornaments, lights, tree stands, plastic bags, etc. Trees are chipped and these items will cause problems to the machines and reduce quality of the finished mulch.
There are 10 drop-off sites throughout the County:
Clarksville - Kendall Hardware (12260 Rt. 108) or River Hill Garden Center (12165 Rt. 108)
