AURORA | If you’re done rocking around the Christmas tree, and not one of those people who leaves it up all-year long,  then you can recycle them for free at these locations.

  • Del Mar Park – 12000 E. Sixth Ave., in the west parking lot at Peoria Street
  • Saddle Rock Golf Course – 21705 E. Arapahoe Road, west of E-470
  • Olympic Park – 15501 E. Yale Ave, east of Chambers Road

These drop-off locations will be available to people until Jan. 8. 

Nails, decorations and stands must be removed prior to drop-off. Artificial trees will not be accepted. 

Free mulch is also available at these locations, while supplies last. People must bring their own truck, bags, shovel and containers.
