Don't send your Christmas tree to the landfill. Donate it to us, and we'll recycle it into wood chips for trails and landscaping in your forest preserves.

Bring your real, undecorated tree to one of eight marked drop-off sites at preserves around Lake County, open 6:30 am–sunset daily, through February 1, 2023. No yard waste or commercial drop-offs are accepted.
