The 36th Annual Christmas Tree Recycling Program kicks off this week. Area residents and businesses are asked to bring any live Christmas trees to the northwest corner of the parking lot at Norfolk Fire Division Training Center (302 East Benjamin Ave.) starting December 26, 2024, through January 11, 2025, to be recycled. 

Recycled trees are scheduled to be chipped into mulch for use in city parks and roadways the following week weather permitting. 

Trees should be free of all ornaments, tree stands, and nails. Trees that have been flocked will not be accepted at the site.

The Norfolk Christmas Tree Recycling Program is sponsored by Keep Norfolk Beautiful, Nebraska Public Power District, and City of Norfolk Fire Division.
