Once Santa and his reindeer have headed home and Christmas tree needles are scattered on the floor, it’s time to toss the once fresh-smelling tree. The City of Memphis Storm Water Department wants to remind all residents to properly dispose their live Christmas trees and holiday greenery by either recycling or leaving them out for curbside pickup. Properly disposing and recycling live Christmas trees and holiday greenery keeps thousands of pounds of evergreens from being deposited into landfills.

December 2021 Press Release

The City of Memphis Storm Water Department encourages everyone to properly dispose of fats, oils, and greases. When poured down a sink drain, fats, oils, and greases cling to pipes beneath your house and in the City’s sanitary sewer system. This can cause sewage to backup into your home. Clogged pipes can become a health hazard by causing sewage overflows, which can discharge into the neighborhood and waterbodies.
