Don’t let that live Christmas tree go to waste just because the holiday is over.

Residents can recycle them for free through Feb. 11 at the city's Environmental Services Department’s Citizen Collection Stations.

The Citizen Collection Stations, known as drop-off sites, are open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.

They are at:

· 1034 Pendale Road

· 121 Atlantic Road

· 4501 Hondo Pass Drive

· 2492 Harrison Ave.

· 3510 Confederate Drive

Trees taken to the sites must be free of ornaments and other decorative items, including string lights, frost and glitter.

The drop-off sites also accept cardboard gift boxes, holiday cards and wrapping paper. All materials should be free of plastic or glitter.

Customers visiting the sites to dispose of materials other than recyclables must bring a recent water bill and matching ID to dispose of the waste.

To learn more, visit www.elpasotexas.gov/esd or call 9150-212-6000.

Christmas trees bring joy during the holiday and still can be useful afterward if recycled.
