Christmas Tree
Recycling at DCP
Live Christmas trees are beautiful, fragrant, and steeped in Yuletide
traditions, but many wonder what to do with it after the season is
over. Darke County Parks in conjunction with Darke County Solid Waste
are again offering their Christmas Tree Recycling program. Drop off
live Christmas trees at Shawnee Prairie Preserve on St. Rt. 502 just
west of Greenville between December 27th and January 13th. Just follow
the signs up the service road to the drop off location.
The trees will be shredded and used as mulch on the parks paths and
walking trails. Please remove all ornaments, lights, wire, tinsel, and
nails prior to drop off, and regretfully they cannot accept trees with
fake snow. For more information about this or any of the other park
district programs, please call the Nature Center at (937) 548-0165.
Photo-Germany is credited with starting the Christmas tree tradition in
the 16th century when devout Christians brought decorated trees into
their homes.
