Christmas Tree Recycling

December 26, 2008 through January 31, 2009

Recycle your Christmas Tree:

York County residents have two options for recycling their Christmas trees. 

Option 1: Residents may bring their trees to the Authority’s Yard Waste Transfer Facility seven days a week during daylight hours.

Option 2: Residents may drop off their trees seven days a week during daylight hours at William H. Kain County Park (Lake Redman boat launch area).

There is no fee to residents at either site. PLEASE REMOVE: Ornaments, tinsel, lights and protective bags from your tree.

Many municipalities now offer curbside Christmas tree collection for their residents as part of the curbside recycling program.  Call your municipal office to see if your municipality offers a curbside collection program.  Dedicated loads of Christmas trees collected in municipal programs will be accepted at no charge during regular business hours at the Authority’s Yard Waste Transfer Facility.  Municipal loads of Christmas trees will not be accepted at Kain Park.

Trees collected at the Authority’s Yard Waste Transfer Facility will be shredded and shipped off site to an end user.  Trees collected at Kain Park will be shredded and used to maintain park property.

Directions to Kain Park: To get to the William H. Kain County Park site from the Susquehanna Trail, turn east onto Church Street in Jacobus.  The boat launch area will be on your left.
