The annual Christmas Tree Recycling Program is taking place in St. Tammany Parish. Starting Wednesday, December 30, citizens may drop off their discarded Christmas trees at two locations in St. Tammany: in Covington, at the St. Tammany Parish Fairgrounds Florida Street (East) Entrance, and in Slidell, at the Slidell Parish Complex on Military Road just north of Brownswitch Road.
Citizens may also call their individual waste haulers for information on tree pick up dates. Look at your bill to determine your waste hauler and phone number. All trees are used for marsh restoration as part of an ongoing project with the St. Tammany Parish Department of Engineering and the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority.
