Christmas Tree Mulching Event

Posted on December 26, 2024

Kenton County Public Works offers Christmas tree mulching

The City of Fort Wright is partnering with Kenton County Public Works once again to mulch discarded Christmas trees. 

In order to be mulched, all trees must be free of ornaments and lights!

In preparation of the momentous task of un-decorating, we would like to remind and encourage anyone who has a live Christmas tree to recycle it instead of just putting it out in the trash.

Christmas Tree Recycling is easy to do. Simply remove all ornaments, tinsel, lights, and any other artificial decorations and drop your "live" tree at our designated drop zone. This year's drop zone will once again be located at City Hall, 409 Kyles Lane, Fort Wright, KY. Look for the tree-corral in the vicinity of the Guardian Angel Garden found on the north east side of the city building.

Christmas Tree Drop-Off will begin on Thursday, December 26th, 2024 and end Tuesday, January 14th, 2025.

Once the collection time has passed the Kenton County Public Works Department will turn the trees into mulch that will be used at a future date.

Christmas Tree Recycling is offered "Free of Charge" to anyone wishing to drop off their live tree. For more information please do not hesitate to contact us at 859.331.1700 or via email at [email protected]

There is a roped off area specifically designated for drop off right next to the Admistration Building parking lot.
