Havasu wildlife nonprofit accepts live Christmas trees after the holiday

LAKE HAVASU CITY — If you’re someone who traditionally purchases a live Christmas tree each year, you might be wondering where to recycle them after the holiday. The Lake Havasu Fisheries Improvement Program is one charity that can help. 

Making Havasu into one of the many places to visit for fishing enthusiasts, the nature nonprofit has supported the lake’s underwater environments for nearly four decades.  Additionally, the team has enhanced game fishing and promoted the community’s economy. 

Guided by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), the group consists of committed volunteers, along with both federal and state partnerships. Those who choose to donate their trees, may not know it helps our local farms, organizations, and businesses.  The trees are also eco–friendly and can be salvaged even after the holiday.  

If you’re looking to recycle your tree this season, the tree must be ornament free and placed in the dumpster at the Aquatic Center located at 100 Park Avenue beginning on Friday December 26 through Saturday January 6. 

Questions or concerns can be addressed by calling BLM at 928-505-1200 or the Aquatic Center at 928-453-8686.  

By donating your tree, you are helping the BLM and the Lake Havasu Fisheries Improvement Program keep the vitality, distinctiveness, and efficiency, of our wildlife areas for present and future generations to come.
