SAN ANTONIO (December 26, 2025) – The City of San Antonio’s Solid Waste Management Department (SWMD) will have four free drop-off locations for undecorated Christmas trees from January 3 – 14.
Trees must not have any lights, stands, artificial snow, or other decorations. Trees must be loose and unbagged. Smaller live trees may also be placed in the green organic carts during normal weekly collection.
You may visit the drop-off centers below from January 3 – 14.
In mid-January, customers may visit the Bitters Brush Recycling Center and receive free mulch from collected trees while supplies last. For questions on how to dispose of specific items or to learn more about SWMD's collection services, please visit SARecycles.org.
