Following the Christmas holiday, Tulsa residents needing to dispose of live Christmas trees do not have to worry about them fitting in the gray trash cart.

Live trees can also be dropped off at the City’s mulch site where they will be turned into mulch. ALL decorations (including tinsel) must be removed before they can be accepted. The mulch site is located at 2100 N. 145th E. Ave.

Residents throwing away artificial trees must put them in the gray trash cart.
