The Nashville Department of Transportation and Multimodal Infrastructure (NDOT), in collaboration with the Metro Nashville Parks and Recreation Department, has announced the renewal of its Christmas Tree Recycling Program for the 2024-2025 holiday season. The program aims to prevent Christmas trees from ending up in landfills by partnering with Living Earth to convert donated trees into mulch through chipping and composting processes.
The program is expected to receive participation from thousands of residents across Davidson County. Thirteen designated drop-off locations have been set up, available from December 26, 2024, to February 14, 2025. These locations include:

To participate, trees must be free of wooden stands, watering bowls, ornaments, lights, wire, string, and other decorations before being dropped off. The program does not accept artificial trees; however, these can be disposed of at any of Metro Nashville’s convenience centers.
Residents are reminded not to dump any other items at the tree drop-off sites. NDOT’s brush collection services will also pick up Christmas trees as part of their regular schedule, but no special pickups will be arranged for trees.
For further assistance or to report non-emergency issues on Metro Nashville streets, individuals can visit hub.nashville.gov.
