♪ Old Christmas Tree, Old Christmas Tree, Come and Recycle it for Free ♬

The Solid Waste Management Department, Parks and Recreation, and PNM will recycle real Christmas Trees for FREE at three locations in Albuquerque beginning December 26, 2023. No artificial trees will be accepted. PNM Vegetation Management crews and Parks and Recreation staff will grind trees into mulch chips, which can be used as mulch to provide a better-growing environment for plants and residential landscapes. Residents can pick up the mulch, free of charge while supplies last.

Trees may be dropped off between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., December 26, 2023 through January 8, 2024 at the following locations:

• Eagle Rock Convenience Center, 6301 Eagle Rock NE, (505) 857-8318
• Ladera Golf Course, 3401 Ladera Dr NW, (505) 836-4449
• Montessa Park Convenience Center, 3512 Los Picaros SE, (505) 873-6607, temporarily closed on Thursdays and Fridays

• Please remove all bags, tree stands, decorations and lights from trees before dropping them off to be mulched. Limit 5 trees per resident, no commercial customers.
