BAY MINETTE, Alabama — The Baldwin County Solid Waste Department will provide free Christmas tree recycling through Jan. 14.

Baldwin County residents are urged not to discard Christmas trees along roadsides with household garbage. Trees should have all decorations removed and artificial and flocked trees are not acceptable.

Recycling locations are Magnolia Landfill, MacBride Landfill and Bay Minette Transfer Station. Residents may also place Christmas trees in the designated roll-off containers at Foley Satellite Courthouse, Fairhope Satellite Courthouse, Baldwin County Central Annex, Spanish Fort Volunteer Fire Department and Perdido Beach Volunteer Fire Department. The recycled Christmas trees that are collected will not only conserve valuable landfill space but will also contribute material to the Baldwin County compost program.

Baldwin County compost is available for sale at the Magnolia Landfill for $25 per ton.
