St. Tammany Parish government will accept Christmas trees through Jan. 29 for recycling and use in cooperative marsh restoration efforts.
Bare trees can be brought to the St. Tammany Parish Fairgrounds at 1515 N. Florida St. in Covington and the old Levee Board property at 61134 Military Road in Slidell, during daylight hours.
Trees must be stripped of all decorations. Ornaments, lights, tinsel, and tree stands must be removed completely to be eligible for the program. Flocked trees cannot be accepted at all at the drop-off sites because they cannot be used for the project.Â
