Recycle Your Christmas Tree in Will County

Christmas Trees to be recycled at The Forest Preserve District of Will County

“Recycle the Holiday Spirit!,” a free Christmas tree recycling program offered by the Forest Preserve District of Will County, will be Tuesday, December 27 through Monday, January 9, with three tree drop-off sites around the county.  Trees can be dropped off at any of the facilities between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.


Recycling Christmas trees saves landfill space and recycles the trees back to nature.  The trees are chipped and then used at District preserves.   Christmas trees can be dropped off at Isle a la Cache Museum, in Romeoville; the Sugar Creek Administration Center, in Joliet, and Monee Reservoir.


Please remove all tinsel and lights.  Only family trees will be accepted; no commercial trees will be taken.


Isle a la Cache Museum is located at 501 East 135th Street (Romeo Road), 0.5 mile east of Route 53, in Romeoville.
The Sugar Creek Administration Center is located at 17540 W. Laraway Road, 0.75 mile east of Route 52, in Joliet.
