Free Christmas Tree Recycling & Disposal for Central Texas
Beginning December 26, 2025, Texas Disposal Systems (TDS), will begin accepting used Christmas trees in Austin and San Antonio, allowing Texans to recycle and repurpose their trees into mulch and compost.
TDS is offering this service free of charge for real Christmas trees (firs, spruces, pines, etc.) free of lights, ornaments, flocking or artificial snow, tinsel and metal structures. A $55 contamination fee will be assessed for trees and decorations that have not been cleaned.
TDS has been helping communities across Central Texas recycle their unflocked Christmas trees and organic holiday decorations in the greenest way possible for more than a decade. The living decorations will be repurposed and made into organic mulch and compost. The finished compost and mulch will be available for purchase at Garden-Ville stores throughout Central Texas.
