Lakewood site added to county-wide list of drop-off locations

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Davidson County residents will be able to recycle their live Christmas
trees at several Metro sites again this holiday season, including a new drop-off location in
Lakewood.

Metro Public Works will collect the trees for mulching at the city’s Bordeaux Mulch
Facility.  All trees must be free of lights, ornaments, icicles, all tinsel and garland.  No flocked
trees will be accepted.

WHO:  Metro Public Works and Metro Parks & Recreation
WHAT: Christmas Tree Drop-off Program
WHEN: December 27, 2011 to February 17, 2012
WHERE: Any one of the following Metro Parks:
Cane Ridge, Cedar Hill, Edwin Warner, Elmington, Joelton, Richland, 
Sevier, Two Rivers and Whitfield; or
Una Recreation Center, 136 Una Recreation Road;
Former Lakewood City Hall Bldg, 3401 Old Hickory Blvd

Recycling Christmas trees into mulch, rather than dumping them in the trash, in an alley
or along public roadways, keeps them out of landfills and helps save Metro the cost of disposal
fees. Approximately 12,000 Christmas trees are recycled each year through the drop-off
program.
Natural brown mulch, made from Christmas trees and yard brush, is sold at the Bordeaux
facility for eleven dollars a cubic yard.  The facility is open Monday-Saturday from 7 a.m. until 4
p.m.  For more information, call 862-8640 or visit www.nashville.gov/pw/recycle .
