<p>Beaufort County residents who have decals are encouraged to bring live Christmas trees to any County Convenience Center during normal hours since recycling live Christmas trees saves landfill space.&nbsp;</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Trees should be placed in the yard waste bins.&nbsp;</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>For residents who do not have Convenience Center decals, Christmas trees can be brought to the Shanklin Road, Beaufort or Simmonsville Road, Bluffton locations only.&nbsp;</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Please make sure all ornaments, lights, and other decorations are removed from the trees prior to recycling them.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In anticipation of increased amounts of post-holiday waste and as a courtesy to other County residents, please remember to flatten all cardboard boxes before placing them in the appropriate dumpsters.&nbsp;</p>
