There will always be lots of cleanup to do after the Christmas holiday, but don’t forget to recycle. And remember one item that can be recycled is your real or natural Christmas tree. The Clinton County Area Solid Waste Agency will once again accept individual real or natural Christmas trees for no cost to Clinton County residents. Businesses and out-of-county residents may not utilize this service for free. Christmas trees can be brought to CCASWA, 4292 220th Street in rural Clinton, Iowa starting Friday, December 26th. County residents will have the opportunity to utilize this free service until close of business on Saturday, January 10th, 2026. CCASWA is open Monday – Friday 7:30 AM – 4:30 PM and Saturday 7:30 AM – Noon. The trees will be repurposed and reused as wood mulch.
Christmas Trees must not have any of the following items remaining on or attached to them:
• Ornaments or ornament hooks
