It's a tradition that has gone on for years now as trees are recycled to fight coastal erosion

METAIRIE, La. — Residents of unincorporated Jefferson Parish and the Town of Lafitte will have Christmas trees collected curbside starting Thursday, January 6, 2022 and continuing through Saturday, January 8.

Trees must meet the following guidelines in order to be recycled:

  • No flocked trees
  • No artificial trees
  • No painted trees
  • No lights, garland, tinsel, ornaments, tree stands and plastic bags.
