Mesa residents can help the City of Mesa give the environment a present this
holiday season by recycling their Christmas trees. Residents are encouraged
to bring their tree to any of the free drop-off locations listed below.
Residents are asked to remove all nails, stands, tinsel and ornaments from
trees. Flocked trees will not be accepted because the flocking does not
break down in the environment.
The following 24-hour drop-off sites will be open Dec. 26-Jan. 13:
City of Mesa Solid Waste Management Department, 730 N. Mesa Dr.
East Mesa Service Center, 6935 E. Decatur St.
Superstition Springs Police/Fire Substation, 2430 S. Ellsworth Road
Mountain View Park, 845 N. Lindsay Road
Dobson Ranch Park, 2363 S. Dobson Road
Residents wishing to take their trees directly to the Salt River Landfill at
Gilbert Road and the Beeline Highway can do so between 6 a.m. and 5 p.m.,
Monday through Saturday. Mesa residents will need to have a current Arizona
driver’s license. Curbside pickup also is available for $10 and must be
requested by Jan. 4. Residents should contact the Solid Waste Management
Department at (480) 644-2688 for more information or to schedule a pickup
time. Additional information may also be found by visiting the City’s Web
site at www.cityofmesa.org/waste.
Finally, Mesa also accepts donations of live potted trees, which will be
planted in Mesa City parks. Live trees five feet or taller will be accepted
at any Mesa Fire Station. The Christmas “Treecycling” program is sponsored
by the City of Mesa and the Salt River Landfill.
