Mayor Tim Lowery has announced that Gateway Disposal STL will offer the

“Christmas Tree Disposal” program to Florissant residents having real Christmas trees. Also, the city’s Health Department will be accepting Christmas lights for recycling purposes from residents.

If you have Christmas lights you want to dispose bring them to the Health Department building in St. Ferdinand Park and there will be a large tote outside of the building for you to dispose of your lights.

Residents can dispose of their Christmas lights for recycling at the Health Department Building until Jan.15, 2024.

The “Christmas Tree Disposal” program will include curbside pick-up of real Christmas trees during the holiday season and go through the month of January. Gateway Disposal STL will be providing this service “free of charge” to any Florissant resident regardless of them having weekly yard waste service. Any Florissant resident wants to take advantage of this for free.

Service must place their tree at their curb on the day of the week that yard waste pick-up is normally provided in their neighborhood. Trees must be free of all contaminants, such as garland, tinsel, lights and ornaments and if the tree is larger than 6 foot it must be cut in half to it in trash truck. Recycle, Reduce, Reuse for a better environment for all.
