Now that the Christmas festivities are over, you might be ready to get rid of your live Christmas tree and other holiday items (like wrapping paper, boxes and more), recycling is always a great option.

Recycling is easy, and we’re here to help make your life easier with what we have gathered below:

Christmas Tree Recycling
  • Williamson County Convenience Centers have year-round bins for clean yard waste. After removing all decorations, nails and tinsel, trees can be taken by Williamson County residents to any county convenience center where it will be turned into mulch.
  • The cities of Franklin, Fairview and Brentwood have scheduled tree drop-off locations at local parks.
    For a list of parks where you can take your tree, click here.
  • Franklin residents may also recycle trees with the Blue Bag curbside recycling program.

You can also call on the band students at Ravenwood for help recycling your tree. They will be out picking up and recycling Christmas Trees for a donation. They are asking for $10.00 but will gladly take more!

All donations help students pay for band related programs including Marching Band–Winter Programs–Mid State and All-State.
