The City of Florence has announced its annual Christmas tree recycling program, offering residents two options for disposing of natural trees after the holiday season. The initiative requires that all decorations, including tinsel, ornaments, ribbons, lights, and bags, be removed before disposal. Trees will be properly disposed of by Kentucky Fish & Wildlife.
Curbside collection is scheduled for Friday, January 2, 2026. Residents are asked to place their trees on the curb the night before so that Florence Public Services can collect them. Trees not placed at the curb will not be picked up.
A drop-off option is also available from December 26, 2025 through January 15, 2026 at Stringtown Park located at 7340 Burlington Pike. Trees must be dropped off no later than 5:00 p.m. on January 15.
