Winnebago County Christmas Tree Recycling Drop Off Locations

Time to start taking down the Christmas decorations and hauling the tree out for recycling. 

Your tree is likely drying out by now to the point of becoming a serious fire hazard. Experts say a dry Christmas tree will burn faster than a newspaper, according to wrex.com. A good rule, if your tree is losing needles, it's time for it to be taken to one of the Keep Northern Illinois Beautiful recycling drop off spots below, between January 1 - January 15, 2019.
