Mesa residents can keep live Christmas trees out of the landfill this year by recycling them at one of five free drop-off locations across Mesa. Trees recycled through this program will be sustainably reused as garden mulch and marine habitats at Roosevelt Lake. To avoid damaging recycling equipment, all nails, stands, tinsel, lights and ornaments must be removed from trees. Trees flocked with artificial snow, wreaths, and trees from commercial vendors will not be accepted.The following 24-hour drop-off sites will be open to Mesa residents from Dec. 26 to Jan. 16:
- Fitch Park: 651 N. Center St.
- East Mesa Service Center: 6935 E. Decatur St.
- Superstition Springs Police/Fire Substation: 2430 S. Ellsworth Road
- Mountain View Park: 845 N. Lindsay Road
- Dobson Ranch Park: 2363 S. Dobson Road
Additional tree disposal options for Mesa residents include a donation for planting at Mesa parks, curbside bulk pick-up and green waste barrel service. For more information, please visit mesarecycles.org.
Residents are also encouraged to recycle properly this holiday season. Decorations such as ornaments, light strands and artificial trees are not accepted in Mesa's blue recycling barrel. These items are considered contaminants and negatively impact Mesa's recycling program. Use the Recycle Right Wizard online search tool, available at mesarecycles.org, to find out what is accepted in Mesa's recycling program.
The Christmas "Treecycling" program is provided for resident use only. Tree lot vendors are not eligible to use this program and should call 480-644-6789 for alternative recycling options.
