Last year, the city said 17,000 trees were recycled through the Tree-cycling program.

Metro Parks and Recreation and contractor, Living Earth, are teaming up to help with the program.

The program will run from December 27th to February 16, 2019.

Drop off locations are listed below:

· Both of Living Earth's locations at 1511 Elm Hill Pike and 6401 Centennial Blvd.

The trees will be chipped and composted into mulch.
