In collaboration with the Metro Nashville Parks and Recreation Department, the Nashville Department of Transportation and Multimodal Infrastructure (NDOT) has renewed its Christmas Tree Recycling Program for the 2024-2025 holiday season.
To keep Christmas trees out of the trash and landfills, NDOT will partner with Living Earth to chip and compost donated trees into mulch.
NDOT anticipates thousands of Nashvillians throughout Davidson Country to donate trees and has secured the following 13 drop-off locations from December 26, 2024, through February 14, 2025.
Cane Ridge Park
Una Recreation Center
Whitfield Park
Cedar Hill Park
Two Rivers Park
Joelton Community Center
Sevier Park
Richland Park
Elmington Park
Edwin Warner Park
Lakewood City Hall
Frederick Douglass Park
Both Living Earth locations at 1511 Elm Hill Pike and 6401 Centennial Boulevard
Trees must be cleaned of wooden stands, watering bowls, ornaments, lights, wire, string, and other decorations before drop-off.
No artificial trees will be accepted. Artificial trees can be dropped off at any of Metro Nashville’s four convenience centers for disposal. Please do not dump any other items at these drop-off locations.
Additional Information
NDOT’s brush collection crew can also pick up Christmas trees as part of its schedule. There will be no special pick-ups for trees.
