Holiday Recycling in Morton Dec. 27 through Jan. 11
Friday, December 27, 2024 - 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
When the holidays are wrapped up, make plans to give your Christmas trees and other holiday items new life: recycle them!
Undecorated, live Christmas trees will be accepted for free at the Morton Transfer Station, 6745 US Highway 12 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday from Dec. 26 through Jan. 11. Customers should check in with the scale attendant for details on where to drop off unwanted Christmas trees.
Other holiday items that can be recycled at Lewis County transfer stations in Morton and Centralia, or curbside recycling programs, include paper holiday cards, wrapping paper, gift boxes and corrugated cardboard boxes. Burned out strings of holiday lights can be recycled in the Scrap Metal Recycling containers in the recycling areas of both transfer stations.
Christmas trees can also be recycled at the Lewis County Central Transfer Station, 1411 S. Tower Ave., in Centralia, for the three weekends after Christmas, which is a change from previous years, when they had been collected daily. This year’s collection dates are Dec. 27-Dec. 29, Jan. 3-5, and Jan. 10-12 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. The WSU Lewis County Master Recycler Composter Volunteers offer the Centralia recycling event for free, but will accept donations to support their community education programs throughout the year.
