To dispose of your real Christmas tree, you may either recycle it or put it out with your trash (note that burning is prohibited).
Recycling
The Johnson County Recycling District has four locations around the county to drop off your real tree for recycling through January 11.
The locations are:
Johnson County Fairgrounds
Center Grove High School
McCarty Mulch
Indian Creek Intermediate School
Look for directional signs to the designated drop-off point.
All decorations, tinsel, lights, etc. need to be removed.
Trash
Christmas trees may also be put out for pickup on regular trash days in January.
Republic Services requires that trees be cut into sections no more than 4′ long. Place the tree sections next to the regular trash/recycling cans for pickup.
