Christmas Tree Recycling in
Brazoria County
If you bought a live Christmas tree this year think about how you want to dispose of it. The environmentally responsible thing is to keep the tree out of the landfill. But, in order to recycle your tree you must avoid flocking and tinsel of any type.
Recycle Christmas trees into beneficial sand dunes along the
Brazoria County coastline. Help to rebuild, restore, and strengthen our dune line against storm surges. ♻️🌲
The
Brazoria County Dunes Day Project: The trees are lined up in front of the dunes and staked to the ground. The Christmas trees essentially act like sand fencing. This slows down the wind and therefore the sand that would normally just blow right off the beach gets collected around these Christmas trees. Besides the initial benefit of not adding hundreds and thousands of Christmas trees to the landfills, the trees also add nutrients to the ground when they rot, which in turn helps dune grasses grow.
Please remove your tree from the stand, remove all tinsel (if you added any), lights and ornaments and recycle your tree by one of these options.
Option one: The Stella Roberts Recycling Center
For those of you who want to help restore the “
Brazoria County” sand dunes via the Dunes Day Project take your Christmas tree to the Stella Roberts Recycling Center, 5800 Magnolia Pkwy, Pearland, TX 77584. Trees can be unloaded into the trailer located at the entrance of the gate. Those dumping outside the gate when the center is closed can be fined up to $200. Trees will be accepted to January 8, 2022. *No appointment needed for Christmas Tree Drop-Off
*REMINDER The Stella Roberts Recycling Center re-opened January 4, 2022 by appointments only, 9AM – 4PM*
Other Options:
Trees (without decorations) may be dropped off at their headquarters office at 313 W. Mulberry in Angleton, or at any
Brazoria County precinct office by January 10th, 2022.
