Free Christmas Tree Composting Available at Select Phoenix Parks

Christmas tree mulching

The Phoenix Public Works Department is once again accepting live Christmas trees, wreaths, and garlands to be recycled for free at various City of Phoenix Parks. The trees will ultimately be composted at the 27 th Avenue Compost Facility. Composting these organic items keeps waste out of landfills and removes potentially dry fire hazards from your home.  

This program is only for live items – not plastic artificial trees. All trees must be free of lights and decorations to ensure a clean end product at the Compost Facility.

 

Christmas tree drop-off spots will be available from December 26, 2024 to January 7, 2025 at marked locations within the following parks:  

 

Cactus Park  

Cesar Chavez Park  

Deer Valley Park  

Desert Foothills Park  

Desert West Park  

El Reposo Park  

Los Olivos Park  

Madison Park  

Marivue Park  

Mountain View Park  

Mountain Vista Park  

Paradise Valley Park  

Sereno Park  

Washington Park  

 

Residents can also bring their trees to either of the City’s two transfer stations. Visit the Public Works webpage for more details and holiday waste reduction tips.​
