Avon, CO – This year, the Town of Avon will continue offering Christmas tree recycling for Avon residents. However, new this year will be a specific location for drop off and limited hours for drop off. In past years, the Town has offered curbside Christmas tree recycling but due to staffing and workload constraints, the Town has restructured the service. On every Saturday in January from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., Avon residents may drop off their Christmas tree at 375 Yoder Avenue, also known as Lot 5, just past The Home Depot. All trees must have their lights and ornaments removed. There will be a clearly marked Christmas tree dumpster available to Avon residents, and all recycled trees will be chipped for mulch.
