If your items are natural and organic, they’re most likely good to go! However, do keep in mind that artificial or fake trees cannot be recycled through this initiative.

Main Drop-off Location

The main drop-off point is at TDS & Garden-Ville Georgetown, located at 250 W.L. Walden Dr. This is the place where you can bring your organic decorations for recycling during their operating hours:

In addition to the main site, there are five more drop-off locations scattered across the Central Texas region, making it convenient for everyone!

Turning Trees into Treasure

Talk about a fantastic way to give your holiday spirit a second life! These products will be available for purchase at Garden-Ville stores throughout Central Texas, catering to gardening enthusiasts who appreciate sustainable options.
