Here's a great idea for Volusia County residents. Your Christmas trees can be transformed into mulch! Any trees placed curbside in unincorporated ares of Volusia County will be picked up for free on your regular yard waste collection days. Be sure to remove tinsel and decorations.
You can also take your trees to the landfill or transfer station until January 31. According to the Daytona Beach News Journal, the Christmas trees will be combined with other yard trimmings and chipped into environmentally friendly mulch.
To collect your free mulch, just bring a shovel and bags to collect your mulch from the following locations...
- Tomoka Landfill, located at 1990 Tomoka Farms Road, Daytona Beach, Monday-Friday 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday, 8:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m.
- Volusia Transfer Station, located at 3151 E. New York Ave., DeLand, 7:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. Monday-Friday and Saturday 8:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m.
Hurry to get yours! It's first come, first serve and you only have until January 15.

This is always a very good idea if you purchase a pre cut tree. I've used the mulch around my garden area's for years. Now I'm purchasing live trees and planting them in our yard or donating them. Happy New Year.
