The City of Pearland would like to remind residents to recycle their holiday trees as we ring in the new year. Remember: The environmentally responsible method is to keep the tree out of a landfill. To recycle your tree properly, remove your tree from the stand, remove all tinsel (if you added any), lights and ornaments and recycle your tree by one of these options:
Option one: The Stella Roberts Recycling Center
For those of you who want to help restore our “Brazoria County” sand dunes via the Dunes Day Project take your Christmas tree to the Stella Roberts Recycling Center, 5800 Magnolia Dr., Pearland, TX 77584 during the centers operating hours, Tuesday-Friday 8 AM-5 PM, Saturday 9 AM-1 PM – those dumping outside the gate when the center is closed can be fined up to $200. Trees will be accepted from December 27, 2017 to January 12, 2018.
Option two: Manvel Location
Trees for the Dunes Project will also be accepted at the Brazoria County Precinct 2 Work Yard 7315 Corporate Dr, Manvel, TX during the yards operating hours, Monday-Thursday 7:30AM-5:30PM. This work yard is approximately 2 miles east of the SH288 and SH6 intersection. It is behind the Brazoria County Service Center (turn onto Corporate drive and pass the service center building). There is a cable link fence surrounding the work yard, with a gate that is unlocked during operating hours.
Option three: Green Waste Day
If you can’t transport your tree, you live in a single-family dwelling and you are within Pearland City of limits, your tree can be set out curbside on your green waste day. These trees will go to a commercial composting facility where they are chopped up for mulch at the facility along with the rest of your green waste.
