Christmas Tree

The holidays are ending, and it will soon be time to find a place for this year's Christmas tree.

The City of Tucson turns old trees into mulch that it will give away to the public.

The annual Treecycle program starts December 26 and runs through January 15.

There are eight drop-off sites. Sites with restricted hours are noted.

  • Oro Valley Naranja Park, 810 W. Naranja Dr., (Only open through January 7, 2018)

  • Tank's Roll-offs & Recycling, 7301 E Speedway Monday-Friday 7 a.m. - 4 p.m., Saturday 7 a.m. - 2 p.m.

  • Golf Links Sports Park, 2400 S. Craycroft Rd. 7 a.m. - 5 p.m.

  • Tucson Rodeo Grounds, 4823 S. 6th Ave. ( drop-off is east of Rodeo Grounds, on 3rd Ave.)

  • Los Reales Landfill, 5300 E. Los Reales Rd. Monday-Saturday 6am-5pm

  • Northeast corner of Silverbell Rd. & Goret Rd.

  • Purple Heart Park, 10050 E. Rita Rd.

  • Randolph Golf Course, 600 S. Alvernon Way

Those looking to pick-up mulch will be able to do so at Los Reales Landfill and Randolph Golf Course. You must bring your own container for hauling mulch.

The sites are restricted to Christmas trees only, no other green waste. Extra trees from commercial tree lots will only be accepted at Los Reales Landfill at posted landfill rates.
