Christmas Tree Recycling

Make one last goodwill gesture of the holiday season – recycle your Christmas tree! Westmoreland Cleanways has drop-off locations throughout Westmoreland County where you can take your undecorated trees. When you drop off your tree, be sure that all lights and ornaments have been removed, and please take tree bags or wrappings home with you.

Thanks to Hempfield Township’s Public Works’ crews, Christmas tree recycling will be even more convenient than ever for Township residents. A drop-off-site will be set up at the Hempfield Park, just off Route 66 north of Greensburg (look for signs to the drop-off site).

The Public Works Department will chip the trees and use the chips for mulch to enhance the beauty of the park. Recycling your Christmas tree will be like giving a gift back to your community!
