Here’s where to recycle Christmas trees in Las Vegas
Gifts have been opened. Family members have departed.
And your Christmas tree is starting to look a little dry.
Whether you’re the kind of person that takes your tree down on Dec. 26 or waits until after the start of the new year, Springs Preserve and the Christmas Tree Recycling Committee offer more than 30 locations where you can recycle your tree for free.
The program, which runs from Dec. 26 to Jan. 15, has drop-off locations in Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, Summerlin and Henderson.
Before recycling, all decorations and tree stands must be removed. Also, trees that have been sprayed with artificial snow can’t be recycled.
Here’s where you can recycle your tree in Las Vegas and Clark County:
■ Bruce Trent Park – 8851 Vegas Drive
■ Desert Breeze Park – 8275 Spring Mountain Road

For those who aren’t able to take their tree to a drop site, Move It will take it for a fee of $25.
The recycled trees are later made into mulch, which can be used in landscaping projects to retain moisture in soil.
