In collaboration with the Metro Nashville Parks and Recreation Department, the Nashville Department of Transportation and Multimodal Infrastructure (NDOT) has renewed its Christmas Tree Recycling Program for the 2025-2026 holiday season.
NDOT anticipates thousands of Nashvillians throughout Davidson Country to donate trees and has secured the following 14 drop-off locations from December 26th, 2025, through February 13th, 2026.
Trees must be cleaned of wooden stands, watering bowls, ornaments, lights, wire, string, and other decorations before drop-off.
No artificial trees will be accepted. Artificial trees can be dropped off at any of Metro Nashville's four convenience centers for disposal. Please do not dump any other items at these drop-off locations.
Additional Information: NDOT's brush collection crew can also pick up Christmas trees as part of its schedule. There will be no special pick-ups for trees.
