Specific Locations that we are aware of:
Christmas Tree Recyling Information
Santa's Woods . 3764 State Highway 133 . Blair, NE 68008 . (402) 426-5250
Christmas trees will NOT be collected at the curb as part of your Omaha garbage collection.
Please throw all trees on top of the pile unless otherwise instructed.
Please remove all:
- Nails
- Wires
- Ornaments
- Tree stand
- Plastic bags (please take bags home and dispose with garbage)
- Lights
Flocked trees are OK.
However, wreathes and evergreen roping will not be accepted.

Share the Christmas Spirit and ask a neighbor if you can help them get their tree to a recycling site.
You may begin using the sites on December 23. The sites are open daily, but staffed with volunteers only on the days listed. Sites close on January 10, 2011. Trees delivered after this date constitute Illegal Dumping, punishable by fine and imprisonment. (And defeats the entire purpose of recycling!)

Volunteers from the Rotary Clubs of Omaha, and the Douglas/Sarpy Master Gardeners will staff the busy sites and help you unload your tree on the weekends of December 26, 2010, and January 2 and 8, 2011, from 10AM until 4PM each day.
