When Christmas ends, the time will come to dispose of your live Christmas tree; and the Marion County Conservation Department is providing both a drop-off site and a pick-up date in Knoxville.

Trees can be taken to the site near the entrance to Marion County Park between December 26th and January 15th.

Meanwhile, there will be one and only one pickup date; on Wednesday, January 2nd, you can have your tree taken from in front of your home.

Trees should be placed next to the curb before 8:00 a.m. They should be free of all decorations, tree stands, metal fasteners and tinsel; and they should not be in plastic bags.
