Live Christmas trees will be accepted at the annual Christmas tree recycling drop-off hosted by the Vanderburgh County Solid Waste District on Saturday, January 9, 2021. The event will be held from 8 a.m. until noon at the old Walmart west parking lot on University Drive. Christmas trees will be converted into mulch by a local tree service company to help save landfill space.
