A free Christmas tree recycling service begins soon in St. Charles County

Once the holiday hubbub is over, don’t forget to recycle your live Christmas tree. Once again this year, St. Charles County is partnering with our communities to offer this free service. Your tree will benefit our environment by being turned into mulch.
