Christmas Tree Disposal Sites

Santa Rosa County residents can dispose of their live Christmas trees until Saturday February 28 at five recycling areas throughout the county. Please place trees in the designated area identified by signage. Do not place trees in front of the recycling containers. Trees can be disposed at Quintette Recycle Area at the Five Points Intersection, Gulf Power recycle area on East Spencer Field Road, Clean Community System on Park Avenue and Tiger Point Recreation Area in Gulf Breeze just east of Wal-Mart.

Citizens are urged not to cut up and burn their tree in a home fireplace. Burning evergreens gives off tar and creosol, which can ignite and cause a chimney fire. Residents are also reminded that recycle areas are not disposal areas for furniture or household garbage that is not sorted recyclable material. Santa Rosa County recycle sites accept glass, metal, plastic containers, paper and cardboard. A map of all of Santa Rosa County’s recycling points and accepted materials can also be found on the county’s website at santarosa.fl.gov/recycle
