Boulder County Christmas Tree Recycling Locations 2018

BOULDER, CO -- Christmas it over, but the tree remains. Why not give yours one more chance to spread joy by dropping it off at one of the many Christmas tree recycling centers across the county, where it can be chipped into mulch or compost? Wherever you take it, be sure your tree is not bagged, and remove all tinsel and decorations.
