2007-2008 Christmas Tree Recycling Program
A free program that recycles discarded Christmas Trees into mulch for the
public's use. The County will operate seven sites. The sites will be
open from December 26, 2007 to January 18, 2008 . The hours will be 7:00
AM until dark daily. The sites are:
Rivanna Solid Waste Authority Recycling Center on McIntire
Road
Crozet Park in Crozet
Greenwood Community Center in Greenwood
Chris Greene Lake Park in Earlysville
Darden Towe Park on Elks Drive
Scottsville Community Center in Scottsville
Walnut Creek Park off Old Lynchburg Road
This program has been in operation since 1988 and has grown
to recycle over 2800 trees that yield over 229 cubic yards of chips.
Combining forces with the "Charlottesville Curb Side Pick Up" the joint
programs collected 4000 trees yielding 327 cubic yards of chips. Please
note this is reducing the impact on our landfill and helping citizens
find a place to dispose of a large and cumbersome item. The Darden Towe
location is less congested and is suited better for large loads and
contract haulers.
According to Ronnie Shifflett from the City Public Works
Department the Charlottesville Curbside Pickup will be the week of
January 7, 2008 (trees need to be at the curb side by 7:00 AM). Shortly
after that date the City and County Parks Crews will join forces and
chip and estimated 4000 trees at Darden Towe Park.
Both Programs require that decorations, stands and nails be
removed. Please no "yard waste".
Free mulch will be available starting February 1, 2008 at
Darden Towe Park.
