Christmas Tree Recycling
In December and January, Sedgwick County coordinates over 20 sites throughout the
County for residents to drop off live Christmas trees (all ornaments and lights must
be removed). In addition, some small cities in Sedgwick County operate their
own Christmas tree disposal program.
Residents are invited to take free mulch home with them.
