Horseshoe Bay offers holiday tree recycling

Horseshoe Bay residents can recycle their real, used Christmas trees at the city’s recycling center by presenting a water bill as proof of residency.

The recycling center, located at 314 RM 2831, is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to noon and from 1 to 4 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The center will be closed Jan. 1. The service will continue for the foreseeable future. 

Recycling Christmas trees helps reduce waste and environmental impact. Trees dropped off at the center can be repurposed into mulch or compost.

Texas Christmas tree production has increased in recent years. The latest agricultural census shows 220 growers farming 3,565 acres statewide, up from 125 growers on 945 acres in 2017. Sales also increased 26 percent over that period. Virginia pine is the most commonly grown Christmas tree species in Texas.
