The Solid Waste and Recycling Department says the location at Reichs Ford Road is the only one which can be used by commercial entities; the other sites are for residential use
The trees will be ground into mulch.
Before dropping off their trees, residents are reminded to remove any ornaments, tinsel, lights, tree stands and plastic ties.
