Kern County Public Works’ 2025 Christmas Tree Recycling Program

Starting December 26, 2025, until January 9, 2026, Kern County residents can help keep the season green by recycling their Christmas tree for free at participating County disposal sites and drop-off locations, or in their green container during our Christmas Tree Recycling Program.

The program encourages residents throughout the County to recycle their Christmas trees at various County and partnering locations to prevent trees from being illegally dumped and to promote the proper recycling of the tree in the green container.
