Recycle your Christmas tree in exchange for a free three-gallon evergreen tree, while supplies last. Residents should remove all decorations, lights, tinsel, and ornaments from trees before donation. 

All trees donated for recycling will be ground and used as mulch to beautify Palm Coast's parks and trails. The City will offer free paper shredding at the tree recycling event. For more information, contact Carol Mini at cjmini@palmcoastgov.com.
