Live Christmas trees can be reused or recycled for various purposes. Great Falls residents are encouraged to recycle their live Christmas trees between December 26, 2025, and January 9, 2026. Trees can be dropped off at two locations: Meadowlark Park at the intersection of Fox Farm and Park Garden Road, or the parking lot of American Little League, located at 1100 38th St N.
Before recycling your tree, please ensure that all lights, decorations, and tree stands have been removed. Please note that flocked trees cannot be recycled and should not be taken to the recycling sites. Only live Christmas trees should be placed in the designated containers. The recycled trees will either be composted or used to enhance fish habitats. Please be aware that commercial trees will not be accepted for recycling.
This Christmas tree recycling project is sponsored by the City of Great Falls, Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks, and the Walleyes Unlimited Great Falls Chapter.
