There will be two areas in West Chester where the community can recycle their Christmas trees this January. Those recycling areas will be located at Keehner Park and Beckett Park.

Christmas trees will be accepted at both locations through the end of January.

Trees will be need to be cleared of all decorations and should not be wrapped in plastic. Artificial trees will not be accepted at the recycling locations.

Mulch from the trees, after chipping, will be used throughout the year in West Chester parks.

The drop-off area at Keehner Park, 7211 Barrett Road, will be located near the tennis courts.

Beckett Park’s drop-off area will be located in the parking area just before the gate. Beckett Park, 8558 Beckett Road, is located off Union Centre Boulevard.

Both locations will have signs designating the correct drop-off spot.

The recycling collection is available until Jan. 31 and is only for live Christmas trees. Other yard debris will not be accepted.

Trees will be chipped and mulch will be used throughout the year in West Chester parks.

Both parks are open from dawn to dusk, seven days a week.
