Residents can drop off their undecorated, non-flocked Christmas trees starting the day after Christmas at the designated areas at Golden Road Park and Fun Forest Park in Tyler.  

Golden Road Park is located at the intersection of McDonald Road and Golden Road. Fun Forest Park is located in the 900 block of North Glenwood Boulevard. 

The trees at the parks are available for area fisherman to pick up and sink in the nearby lakes to make fish habitats.  Small fish eat the aquatic insects that find a home in the tree branches.  The fish also use the trees as a hiding place.  As a result, the fishing is improved around the “Recycled Trees” because more fish congregate in these areas.

Christmas trees will also be picked up at the curb for disposal at the landfill as space and time allows. 

Only trees from Fun Forest Park and Golden Road Park will be recycled.  Trees picked up at the curb will be disposed of in the landfill.
