RECYCLE YOUR CHRISTMAS TREE AFTER THE HOLIDAY SEASON

The York County Solid Waste Authority will hold a FREE Christmas Tree Recycling Program for all York County residents. Beginning December 26, 2023, residents may bring their tree to the parking lot directly across the street from the York County Resource Recovery Center in Manchester Township located at 2651 Blackbridge Rd. Residents must remove any ornaments, lights, tinsel and protective bags prior to dropping their tree off. H & H General Excavating will recycle the trees into mulch. This program is a great way for residents to easily dispose of their Christmas tree while reducing waste. The Christmas Tree Recycling Program runs through January 31, 2024. This is the 36th year YCSWA has offered the program.

Many municipalities now offer curbside Christmas tree collection for their residents, as well. Residents should call their municipal office to see if their municipality offers a curbside collection program.

Directions to the parking lot across from the York County Resource Recovery Center: 

From I-83: Proceed on I-83 to Exit 21.  As you come off the exit ramp, get immediately into the far left turning lane and proceed to stoplight at intersection of Toronita Street and Rt. 30E (you will see the “Round the Clock Diner” at this intersection).

At the stoplight, turn left onto Toronita Street (Toronita turns into Blackbridge Road).  Proceed approximately 1 1/2 miles and follow signs to Christmas Tree Recycling drop-off.
